The Last Battle was always my least favourite, not because of the religion but because of all the nasty things that went on - and what happened to Susan. I think it's her fate more than anything else that millions of females hold against C S Lewis, because the whole "if you like lipstick you don't get to go to heaven" thing? SO contrived. She was one of the best characters, and then it's all like "Sorry, she isn't there because she wore stockings!!!!"
Although part of me also sympathises with not liking the type of girls who "waste all their school time wanting to be [teenagers], and spend the rest of their lives trying to stay that age", but Susan WASN'T that type of girl. She was cool and brave and kick-ass with her bow and arrows. She was a Queen of Narnia, for heaven's sake. And Lewis just dumped her.
