Re: why do people hate narnia?

That is a very good point about age groups and character preferences, Badger.
Most kids I have seen and know don't really start reading chapter books as long as Narnia until maybe fourth, fifth, and sixth grade on their own. I certainly didn't do so until that age group myself. These ages are the same as the children in the books.
Strangely enough though, it seems kids really want to be older than they are now (not to sound off topic). They think that reading stuff like Twilight will make them cool, as I have seen fifth graders read the series. It doesn't really help that the films- again, not for this section- get criticized for being a kids' version of Lord of the Rings.
Who cares though really? Just enjoy what you want.
