I am a big fan of reading the book before seeing the movie. Usually, the movie disappoints: The Wizard of Oz Returns, Mary Poppins, Emma ... but Prince Caspian was well worth watching. It followed the book very closely, with only the slight addition of a flirtation. I was very pleased, and am looking forward to the third installment, Prince Caspian and the Dawn Treader. I really recommend the books, too.
