Summary: Love For The Great Lion
Review: Prince Caspian one of the Chronicles of Narnia books is a very intresting and fun book in the series, I enjoyed it very much. The story line was very intriguing and the characters were explained very vividly. For example when speaking of Aslan, the lion, the book gave him a very powerful and noble type of command in the story. Each character in this book was fun in it's own way. My favorite character was Reepicheep, the mouse, the way he was so humble and how he cared about his honor but never once put himself down because of his size. I also liked this book because I love the time of knighthood and legends of Giants and Centaurs and other mythical creatures. That is why I chose to read this book in the first place.The author when he writes can paint a picture in your mind of the open fields, the great forest, even the warmth and love from the great lion Aslan that Peter and the other children felt. I find the authors way of description very amazing. This book was very adventurous full of battles, mythological creatures, spells, castles, kings and queens, anyone that is intrested in that sort of adventure should really read this book. I think any child that still has the power to use there imagination would fall in love with this book, I did.

Summary: Interesting and Intriguing
Review: Prince Caspian is the second book in the very entertaining series, "The Chronicles of Narnia." It is about 4 children (2 brothers and 2 sisters) who revisit Narnia, another world inhabited by talking animals, after being gone for one year. But one year in our time could be a thousand years in Narnian time, or no time at all. In this case,they were gone for thousands of Narnian years. When they return,they find that the land that they ruled as Kings and Queens in the previous book, has been taken over by humans, called Telmarines, that do not like talking animals. This exciting story tells of the children's efforts to regain power of Narnia. After reading "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe," "Prince Caspian" keeps you wondering what happened to Narnia and what is going to happen to Narnia.Once you start reading this series,you can't stop! A wonderful experience to read these books! I highly recommend that you do!

Review: The book is about four kids who get called back to the land of Narnia where they are kings and queens. They get involved with the evil king. It was a very good book.

Summary: The Prince attempts to regain his throne.
Review: This is the second volume published in the allegorical Chronicles of Narnia series (and, in my opinion, the second to be read even though it is not the second in the internal time sequence in the series). The four children return to Narnia a year later to discover that centuries have passed in Narnia. The talking animals are in hiding and an evil king has usurped the throne. The children aid the young Prince Caspian to obtain the throne and lead the talking animals back to their proper place: once more, a battle between good and evil.

Summary: Use your imaganation........
Review: Prince Caspian is the second book in the chronicles. C.S. Does a good job preserving the foundation from The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, while building another creative story. I think the best part of the book is this one particular sword fight scene. As far as the rest of the story is concerned I think it was well written. If you read the reviews about The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe you will see that I wrote about the contrast between that first story and the Bible. This book was not quite as simple the only thing I found was the charactoristics of the Lion and their simalaritis to that of Christ, other then that this story is an imaginitive read for readers young and old. I am Eighteen and about to graduate, however while reading this book I just let my mind wonder into the story. I was almost a kid again

Summary: Further adventures of the Narnia gang
Review: Lucy, Peter Susan and Edward are going to school and suddenly they are in a ruined place. At first they don't know where they are. And then it all comes back to them that they are in Narnia. Then they meet a little guy. He's a dwarf. They hear his story about King Caspian. They want to help, but there's just one problem...how do they get to Aslan's Hoe? the rest of the story tells about their adventures as they find their way to Prince Caspian and to save old Narnia. I liked this story, but at times I got lost. If you don't read the stories before this one you will probably get lost in the names and places. So I recommend this book, but read the others before you read The Chronicles of Narnia.

Summary: Manipulative Allegory; Good Story
Review: The allegory presented by Lewis of God (represented by Aslan the Lion) and Satan (represented by "The White Witch") is somewhat manipulative. Many of the justifications that it uses in asserting Christianity are the very things that atheists and agnostic disagree with. For example, in one section, Lucy is the only one of the four children who can see Aslan. As a result, the other children have to follow her on Blind Faith. Well, blind faith here is necessary because we accept the faith after knowing the truth. In Christianity, we are expected to have blind faith without knowing the truth. Read this book to your child pr enjoy it as an allegory as an adult, but be sure to talk about it with your children also.

Summary: Just not fun
Review: I had to read this book for a book club. I got halfway through it and just couldn't go on, I was so bored. Don't get me wrong, I read plently of books, this one just didn't capture me.

Summary: Beware!! This is REALLY book TWO not book 4
Review: Beware! The evil, foul-minded people who are publishing these works (The Chronicles of Narnia) have profaned the fantastic writing of C.S. Lewis by rearranging the order of the seven books so as to confuse the reader and steal away some of the magic and wonder by imposing it in a chronological order rather than the artistic one in which it was rendered. Is the horrible time witch at play again or it could be that rascal Screwtape at work? I shake my head sadly at the poor folk who will read these books in the wrong order, actually thinking that perhaps the author meant for them to read Volume Six first. Yes, of course these books come highly recommended but I think it is most important to stress that they should be read in the proper order, which is as follows: 1. The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe 2. Prince Caspian 3. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader 4. The Silver Chair 5. The Horse and His Boy 6. The Magician's Nephew 7. The Last Battle Please, do yourself a favor, if you are reading these books for the first time, read them in the right order.

Summary: Fine dramatization of a fantastic book
Review: I have enjoyed this audio tape very much. I feel wonderfully relaxed whenever I listen to this wonderful story mixed with great music and sound effects. I have the same high opinion of all the other Narnia chronicles on BBC audio. I just want them to hurry up and make versions of The Silver Chair and The Last Battle. I especially like the extra conversation that was added between the children and Proffessor Kirke at the beginning of the tape. I reccomend this highly to any Narnia fan no matter what!
