I can never remember if I've read this book before or not but I think that I have; clearly, it didn't make much of an impression on me. The ending, when the children come back, is so sad but strangely hopeful, that you will find others who have had adventures like you and you will know them and they...
A BOOK THAT FILLED MY CHILDHOOD I cannot explain my reading preferences or my childhood as a whole without including this book. I can't tell you when my first reading of this book took place, as I cannot remember a time when I didn't know the four Pevensies, that 'once a king or queen in Narnia...al...
I loved this book. It was very good and it has a sad beginning as they have to leave their mother and live with some relatives. At first Lucy finds out about the different world when they are playing hide ans seek. Then Edmund, but the olders don't believe them. Until they hide because of smashing a...
Gifted to me for Christmas 1994 by the Sunday School I temporarily attended – according to the bookplate (below right) – after I’d watched the 80s film adaptation at school, I remember the ungrateful disdain I felt for the novel; feeling I’d already read the book having watched the film. How ignoran...
Enjoyable. I wish I had read it when I was a child. Perhaps then I could have grown up to become an adult who enjoys fantasy novels. I loved the animated cartoon that used to air every year on television. The Jesus allegory is heavy, but probably only to the eyes of an adult. :-)
It's hard for me to judge the Narnia books with any kind of objectivity, because I loved them so much as a kid. I still associate them with a blissful sense of escape. Well, I had five siblings and shared a room with my least favorite of them. I was wild to escape. The idea of another world just aro...
Read my full review here.I was assigned to read this book for a class at school and I was so excited. Let me preface this by saying that I have not read the first book in the “The Chronicles of Narnia” series.This book is a pleasant read. It’s quite light - despite some of the darker tones which are...
This begins the seven book Narnia series. This is a well-written, quick read and imaginative. However, C.S. Lewis is an unabashed Christian apologist, and I'm afraid I found the Christian allegory aspect of the book off-putting. (Just as I found Pullman's atheistic themes in his anti-Narnia His Dark...
Upfront disclaimer: Yet another book I can’t review properly because I just have too much of an attachment to it. I don’t ignore the flaws of Lewis’s work or implications…but I also recognize the fact that I have too many feelings and memories surrounding this book to look at it objectively. The Lio...
