Lol... well I think it was meant to be upsetting, so it's okay...

At least it got you to react!

I don't think Gaiman's for everyone, but I desperately adore his writing style and I wish I could write something as good...

I have to agree that I don't like how Lewis handled the problem of Susan, even though I understood what he was getting at... I think he failed to address what might have happened to Susan after the train crash in any satisfactory way... whether she would even want to get back to Narnia after seeing how her family was brought there, and how she was forced to stay behind and deal with their grisly deaths and trying to make a living...
