Well, I feel like a dope. I tried to respond, nothing happened, typed the post again as best I could from memory and figured “whatever, I’ll try tomorrow” when nothing happened one more time. The Internet hates me, sorry.

Grace:

I think Lewis gets some undue kid glove treatment, no, I don’t think he was a great writer and I think you’ll find he admitted this, himself. However, I can’t help loving his fantastic work, anyway, it’s so much a part of me.

I was offended when Disney dropped the movies right before Dawn Treader, my favorite, and am happy that Apted will be doing it, anyway. Eustace is my favorite human character in the series.

Grace:

To be honest, I think Lewis gets some undue hands-offing. I don’t think he was a great writer, I think you’ll find he admitted that himself, and I am saying this as somebody who still likes his fantastic work.

I can’t help it, I loved it so much, once. I was offended when Disney dropped the movies right before Dawn Treader, my favorite, and glad to hear Apted’s doing it, anyway. Eustace is far and away my favorite human character in the series.

Interesting take on McDonald, who doesn’t get enough attention these days, that’s for sure. You are sadly unperceptive when it comes to Lewis, but whatever. If making a great writer seem foolish and simplistic makes you feel personally better, good for you. But it takes away from the good points you make about McDonald.

This article makes me feel excited. I can’t wait to find out more about George MacDonald.

Oh! I just found out he wrote “The Princess and the Goblin”. Lovely : )
