Lucy and Edmund, accompanied by their peevish cousin Eustace, sail to the land of Narnia where Eustace is temporarily transformed into a green dragon because of his selfish behavior and skepticism.
As a child, "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" was my favourite Narnia book, but I think it was primarily for the image of the painting coming to life. While there's certainly nothing wrong with it, and there is something majestic about this tale of the grand ship (Featuring some new characters at that!), I run hot and cold on this book. I do appreciate that Lewis chose to show different sides of Narnia rather than just ponderously giving us the same thing each time, but on re-reading, I was less than enthusiastic about the journeys taken by the characters.
(And, as much as I don't want to sound like some obnoxious 21st century academic, there is obviously an anglocentric, Christian, male-dominating point-of-view narrating these books which makes them less gripping than more democratic modern day children's fare. Or even, really, Enid Blyton, who still had the beliefs of the era but somehow didn't let them affect her work!) ( )

Absolutely loved this story! I really enjoyed getting to explore beyond Narnia and the different islands (I find the Dufflepuds extremely daft observations charming) C.S. Lewis never ceases to impress me. ( )
Much better than the first two for two reasons: first, Eustace makes an amusing spoiled kid, sort of like Edmund in the first book but less nefarious; second, Lewis' episodic island-to-island adventure presents great opportunity for him to create uniquely fantastical situations. His description spends a great deal of time actually describing weird and colorful happenings. It's not vague and simplistic, but when it is vague, it's vague as part of the mystery of a vastly unknowable world. Still, I wish Eustace's redemption took more time. He's humbled within the first third of the book and then becomes a blank character like the rest of the Pevensies and Caspian are. The book was still intermittently engaging beyond that point, due to the variety of island curiosities, but when I was on a duller island I had nothing else to invest in but turning the page. ( )
As in many other of Mr. Lewis' books, one finds a strong poetic sense and awareness of the loveliness and mystery of a universe which cannot be wholly grasped by common sense.

There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it.

And then all the schoolboys joined in because they also liked processions and felt that the more noise and disturbance there was the less likely they would be to have any school that morning.
What awaited them on this island was going to concern Eustace more than anyone else, but it cannot be told in his words because after September 11 he forgot about keeping his diary for a long time.

The other is that back in our own world everyone soon started saying how Eustace had improved, and how "You'd never know him for the same boy": everyone except Aunt Alberta, who said he had become very commonplace and tiresome and it must have been the influence of those Pevensie children.
Den anden er, at alle her i vores verden snart begyndte at sige, at Eustace havde forandret sig, og at "man skulle ikke tro, at det var den samme dreng" - alle undtagen tante Alberta, som sagde, at han var blevet meget almindelig og kedelig, og at det måtte skyldes Pevensie-børrnenes indflydelse.
