I think my main problem was that I wasn't a kid anymore. There are a few childhood books I've remembered with fondness as being so detailed and visual and full of wonderful things but when I've reread them as an adult, all of that is missing. I think it's because as kids our imaginations are so much better developed so that when I would read those books, I'd create details that weren't really there, just suggested. That's my theory.
As to AWiT, I liked Charles Wallace and, not having been raised in a Christian home, I didn't get the Christian themes or elements (I also didn't get them in the Narnia books).
