It’s a good review and I can understand her being upset since she doesn’t agree with Open Theism. Since I mostly do, I’m perfectly okay with the final change she has serious problems with. Of course, I have serious problems sometimes with CS Lewis. A protestant to a fault.
Amber, thanks for commenting.
Regarding Amy’s review: It made me want to read the book again, as it has been many years since I have. While I watched the movie, I had a sense that Aslan wasn’t being portrayed as he was in the book; however, other than the Open Theistic reference, I didn’t remember well enough to see the differences.
Amy’s review does a good job of pointing out the differences, and I tend to agree with her. When you take away Aslan, Narnia loses the key component of all its storylines. Then the stories start looking like all other fairy tales.
