definitely good books - hope they dont make it too cheesy though - the bbc did a mini series of them years back and they were awful - it would be good if they made it for adults rather than kids but given the nature of the story I can see it being more like the neverending story

yep, christian.
they're doing a LOTR ripoff - companies realized how popular cult books are and now want to make big bucks off of them

yeah they do, its pretty simple to find out if you read the books[i have yet to read all of them] but CS Lewis[author] and JRR Tolkien were best friends, both devout catholics. The Lord of The Rings had a christian subtext as well, gandalf being Jesus[some debate frodo is] and the other 8 being the deciples and so on and so forth
