I tend to hate books that are thinly-veiled allegory already, but this one deserves a vitriol that few books earn with me. I really just despise the series, which are incredibly sexist and racist. In one, Susan is thrown out of paradise just because she grows up sexually (and gets interested in "nylons and lipstick"), an inevitable step of most people's life and something to be celebrated, not punished. In some of the other books, Lewis demonizes and stereotypes characters who are clearly Middle Eastern and dismisses their god as evil and malignant. Then, the end of the series ends in the awful death of all the children, after which they ascend into some Platonic Narnia. It's creepy as shit, and it teaches children that death is better than life. Lewis embraces a type of Christianity that frightens me and then hides it in allegory and feeds it to children. That underhanded ideology-pushing is despicable, particularly when your ideology demonizes girl children for simply growing up.
