I finished the Chronicles of Narnia and I have never felt a sense of completeness as I feel finishing Narnia. All other series, such as Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Prydain, I's, etc., all leave me a feeling of emptiness. I am happy I read the series but I'm sad that it is all over. The Chronicles of Narnia, however, leaves me a feeling of completeness. The last sentence of the last book leaves the end so open but at the same time bring the book to a close.
All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth had read: which goes on forever: in which every chapter is better than the one before.
Now I have to go watch the movies and probably be disappointed.

Probably be disappointed? Do yourself a favor and don't watch the movies. If you own them on dvd, use them as drink coasters. Or throw them out the window on the interstate at 18-wheelers, then wonder with your friends if all the truckers are involved in a cb radio conspiracy to cut you off on your way to Cedar Point.
I happened across your page after Googling images of Sid Vicious. Check mine http://the6people.blogspot.com/ if you feel like it.
aha. Thank you.
