> Narnia is an obvious exception, but it is a childrens book.

I liked Lewis as a kid, but found him unusually preachy, even for a children book. I mean, I probably cant think of a children book that would be more obviously about hamming moral-education-point into you. While many children book try to teach some values, they tend to deal with much more nuance then Narnia.

Yeah Aslan was constantly lecturing about some awful thing somebody had done, and nobody ever had a word to say in response, unless of course they were irredeemably evil.
