I think it's a girl, but I doubt that anyone really knows.

I think you are right but you have to have sympathy for the man as well! when you think about it you can realize that he has a hard job and he might NEED the company and when they offer then if he accepts the offer than they should realize that there is a chance he could hurt them and they could hurt him.

I can definitely see your point about the innocent characters, for me the books were imaginative enough that the somewhat one-dimensional characters were acceptable; plus they do become more interesting in the later books. Eustace and Jill in particular are much more flawed and interesting than the original crew.

But yeah, Peter & Lucy and co. are a bit bland.

Truthfully, I didn't even get as far as the third book in the series. I tried really hard to like it, but I just couldn't. Every one was just so nice and innocent and dreadfully devoid of human emotions like malice, hatred, anger and all other negative traits that I just chucked the entire book series back to a kind friend who had lent it to me.

The Christian symbolism wasn't what ruined it for me. It was the 1-dimensional characters.

Seriously, Enid Blyton wrote better stuff. And perhaps reading Lord of the Rings before starting on Narnia had an effect as well.
