Not a great book, but probably my second favorite of the Narnia books (first being "A Horse and His Boy") on the strength of a sense of wonder, both on Charn and on the creation of Narnia itself. Our two heroes are generally good children, and the world (as always in Narnia books) is largely divided...
I enjoyed the first half of the book but got bored/disgusted when it morphed into a religious creation theme. I didn't really notice the religious aspect of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe but this book screams God. As an atheist I find this rather annoying. I only picked this up since I ha...
Pure enchantment. It's nice when you get old enough to start reading fairy tales again.This is a prequel, meant to be read before the others in the series, but I had never read it. Now I know why there is a lamppost in Narnia, and why the wardrobe is the way to reach Narnia, and how Jadis the Witch ...
I don't really like C.S Lewis' children books. They're so goody2... so full of morals and in this book too much of "how wonderful the old time was... how good we raised our children before..."
When I was a wee lass many years ago, I tried reading the Chronicles of Narnia. Everyone loved the books! My dad, who isn't much of a reader, even enjoyed them as a kid! Surely, I was going to love the books. I don't remember if I read this or The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe but I vividly remem...
Well isn't this a pleasant surprise! I should explain:I have been struggling for quite awhile with this series. Having not gone to an English speaking school, I never read The Chronicles of Narnia growing up. I have to admit I discovered the film versions first. Then,I attempted to read it right ...
A short, quick read. Not exactly my cup of tea. To me, the narrative was repetitive and very basic, and the characters had close to no development through the story. Jadis was the only thing that made this bland kiddie's book bearable.
This is meant to be the first book in the Narnia series, although it was published at the end of the series. There is not the slightest doubt about that, because - among other things - the world of Narnia is being created in this book. I had to get accustomed to the fact that this book clearly is wr...
