Rating:  Summary: I love The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: I love all of the Cronicles of Narnia books. They all are full of excitment and majestic powers. I read all of the books in my eighth grade class and I recommended them to all of my friends. Both of my libraries have all of them in there,so I can read them as often as I want to. I also own them. C.S. Lewis is a wonderful writer and a great thinker. I was so disapointed when I found out that he had died. I wish he would have had more time to write more books so I could read more of his wonderful tails. He tells them so wonderfully. I was very disapointed to read all of the comments from different people. Some of them were dissapointed with the books. My advice to them would be to not read books that they can't understand.
Rating:  Summary: The best set of books I've ever read. Review: This is a must read! C.S.Lewis makes you hang on every last word. You want to hug,yell at ,comfort,and fight with the characters in these books.
Rating:  Summary: Passport To Narnia Review: After you read these books, you'll yearn for Narnia. You'll yearn for a glimpse of Aslan, the Great Lion from over the Sea, or Reepicheep the Valiant Mouse. You'll try to get to Narnia through your own wardrobes, pictures, train stations and ponds. But these set of books are the only doorway. The Chronicles part of the series may confuse you at first, because the books do not move in chronological order. The reader moves through three books, then begins jumping around in time. But you'll realize that Narnia Time is Different. Whole lifetimes pass during one moment of our world's time. Do not let the allegorical tags on this masterful opus scare you away. The story will hold you. Edward's betrayal of his siblings in The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe; The coming of Age of Prince Caspian in The Silver Chair; sailing to the End of the World in The Dawn Treader with the valiant Reepicheep and the intolerable Eustace; how land is saved by the companionship of a Horse and His Boy; the creation of Narnia and its exposure to evil in The Magician's Nephew; and the valiant last stand of Narnia's loyal subjects against overwhelming evil and darkness with an amazing ending in The Last Battle. These books were first read to me as a small child. I reread them many times through older childhood, adolescence, university, and now have read them to my own son. I will read them many more times - - and I look forward to those times. These books are full of light.

Rating:  Summary: Wonderful reading for all stages of one's life Review: I unfortunately didn't discover these wonderful books until college, but I thoroughly loved them then, as well as later reading them to my daughter and then later reading them on my own. I honestly believe that these will go down as the great classics of children's literature in the 20th century, comparable to Lewis Carroll's Alice books in the 19th. I must, however, register a complaint. I have a long background in book publishing, having worked in bookstores, as a freelance copyeditor, and for a major publishing company. In all that time, I have never seen a more profoundly stupid idea than the decision of this publisher to reorder the books in the Chronicles. There is something intellecually and aesthetically perverse about putting the books into an order that is both completely at odds with Lewis's intentions and disruptive of the chronology of the books. The publishers have reordered the books to correspond to the chronology of events in Narnia, whereas Lewis wanted the order to reflect the chronology of the discovery and rediscovery of Narnia by a group of interrelated earth children. I don't know who was responsible for this decision to reorder the books, but it is the literary equivalent of colorizing black and white movies. The most puzzling thing of all is why the idea of reordering the books would have occured to anyone in the first place. Surely there was no demand for such a move. It certainly represents one of the more puzzling and irritating events in book publishing in my lifetime, and it is a situation that I hope will be rectified in the future.
Rating:  Summary: They are absolutely magical! Review: They are my all-time favorite books. I have loved them since I was a child. They are full of such fabulous imagery you get sucked in and feel like you're right there. Now I read them when I want to be transported to a very special, magical place!

Rating:  Summary: A world of excitment leaving readers with wonderful memories Review: After reading the Chronical of Narinia, I was left with such an undiscribable feeling. I was so happy and exilirated and wished so much to be able to see Aslan and Narnia. My mind would fill with wonderful imaginations and my heart was overflowing with joy. This is not an ordinary novel. It is much more impelling and it reaches to the soul. The thurst that was in my soul, was in a way quenched, though I wished that C.S. lewis would have continued writing. I was blown away by the scenes and events that filled my imagination, finding myself in awe and wonder. As a young Christian, I found that I could relate to Aslan, and I knew that a world even more wonderful is waiting for us, and that we shall one day meet our on shining lion and saviour. This book touched me so deeply and I think that everyone, young and old should have a chance to escape to the world of Narnia. It is a book of chivalry, fantasy, bravery where kings and queen rule, and where animals speak and trees silently listen in the breeze. I wish that C.S. Lewis would not have passed away, but I am looking forward to meeting him one day in heaven and to thank for all the smiles and hopes he brought to young a girl.
Rating:  Summary: Thank you, Mom! Review: It was my mother who first introduced me to the world of Narnia. I brought home a school book order in which she found a boxed set of the Chronicles of Narnia and ordered them for me, despite the fact that I had never heard of them. The day they came, I was fascinated by the elaborate case and covers, and I couldn't wait to go home from school and begin reading. Opening "The Lion, the Witch, and The Wardrobe", I began a marathon reading session that lasted until Mom called me for supper, and a love affair with Narnia that will last the rest of my life. What a wonderful gift Mr. Lewis gave the world with these books. I have tried several times to figure out which book I like best, but I have never arrived at a suitable answer. For me, all seven books seem to run together as one great, beautiful story. Every so often (very often), it is wonderful to escape into a world of kings and queens, fauns and dwarves, dryads and dragons. To finish, I can only say, "Thanks, Mom. You have never steered me wrong!"
