Rating: Summary: Nice addition to Narnia series Review: Book 6 in a series of 7.Lucy and Edmund don't appear in his book. Eustace making his 2nd appearance is joined by new character, Jill Pole. They enter Narnia and Jill receives 4 key events in the future that will lead them to the rescue of aging Prince Caspian's son Rilian. They must escape love-to-eat-man giants and battle the Queen who can enchant people with music. While it is rather sad that the 4 from Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe, it's still a great book and nice addition in the series
Rating: Summary: a journey of friendship and danger Review: C.S. Lewis' "The Silver Chair" is another great episode in the Chronicles of Narnia. It tells the ongoing story of Eustace Scrubb (my favorite human character in the Narnian stories). This time Eustace and his friend Jill must find and rescue Prince Rillian of Narnia, King Caspian's son. The Silver Chair operates on so many levels. It is an allegory of Man's interaction with and failure to obey God. It is an argument against the Naturalistic worldview. It is a story of journey and friendship. Most importantly, it is a ripping good tale. In "The Silver Chair" Lewis introduces us to the often mentioned but never explored (until now) northern countries of his Narnian world. The children are guided by Puddleglum--a Marshwiggle (and also my favorite of the Narnian characters in all the books). Puddleglum was based off of Lewis' own rather frank and earthy gardener. He makes for an unforgettable character. The children and Puddleglum are faced with exceedingly hard and dangerous challenges along the way. Fortunately, they are never really alone in their trials. "The Silver Chair" contains some of the best literary imagery in the whole Narnian series. It also features some of the best dialogue in all the chronicles. One cannot overstate the sense of wonder in this story. It is another great chapter in the history of Narnia. I give "The Silver Chair" my highest recommendation.
Rating: Summary: The tale before the end of Narnia. Review: During the school years, Eustace and Jill suddenly walked into the world of Narnia. There they met Aslan and was called to save the son of King Caspian, who mysteriously has vanished from Narnia. New characters and villians are introduced, and surprising endings are more than just satisfaction. I strongly recommand everyone to read the Narnia series, and finish it! This book will grasp your breath and continue to the last book of the Narnia tales. So don't just buy the book by book, buy the whole BOX SET!! It is worth it!
Rating: Summary: To Save A Prince Review: Eustace and Jill are called from their school to Narnia by Aslan for a task. King Caspian is old and his only son, Prince Rilian, has been taken hostage. Teaming up with the marsh-wiggle Puddleglum, they journey north from Narnia. But with winter fast approaching, their journey isn't easy. Not to mention the danger they face from giants and a stranger they meet. Will they remember to follow the signs Aslan gave them to help them on their way? Even if they do, can they save the prince? I absolutely love this book in the series. I'd forgotten how much until I reread it. The quest gives a real sense of adventure. And they seem to meet up with plenty of danger along the way. I get a kick out of Puddleglum's pessimism, as well. The allegory seems stronger in this book then the last couple. The themes of following God's word and Him using us in spite of our faults (and using our faults) is especially strong. Aslan has the entire thing under control from the beginning; it's just up to Eustace and Jill to actually follow his commands. This is a wonderful fantasy story with some elements included that will make you think. Definitely a strong book in the series. If you enjoyed the others, be sure to pick this one up as well.
Rating: Summary: Another superb tale! Review: Eustace Scrubb returns for his second adventure in Narnia in "The Silver Chair," the first book (in the order they were written) without the Pevensie children along. Instead he brings a schoolmate, Jill Pole. In there assigned quest (by Aslan of-course), they are to search out and rescue the lost Prince Rilian, heir to King Caspian's Narnian throne. Along the way they are given a trusty and humorously pessimistic guide...Puddleglum the Marsh-wiggle. They travel past the furthest northern reaches of Narnia in to the land of giants, and eventually stumble into a vast underground world nearly oblivious to the outside! Once again a marvelous piece of literature by C.S. Lewis, both as a work of fiction and also as containing some Christian metaphors.
Rating: Summary: An Exciting suspensful book Review: I am a fifth grade girl, and when I started to read these wonderful books, one would imagine that I got engrossed. Yes, I have read all of these but all the other ones had too many reviews. Anyway, it has suspense like none of the other books (expect maybe THE LAST BATTLE). There is a prince who always rode out on a horse every day at the same time. Well that was after him mother died, and everyone thought that he was just grieving. But, ah ha, they guessed wrong. One day the Kings best friend decided that he would go out and see what this boy was up to. He had heard rumors of how the prince's mother died. And now i gotta go, so please, take my word for it....it is a fabulus book!
Rating: Summary: This book is AWESOME!!!!!! Review: I really love The Silver Chair!!!I have the whole sreies at home and I have read this series about 100 times! I wish C.S. Lewis would have written more books in the Narnia series,but I plan on reading The Screwtape Letters.
Rating: Summary: The evil man Review: I recomend this book for people who like monsters and people who like giants. This book is about how they are trying to escape giants who want to eat them at there feast.
Rating: Summary: The Silver Chair Review: I think that The Silver Chair by C. S. Lewis is a great book. I personally have read it several times. He has such a great way with words. As well as being very descriptive with the characters, setting, and all the little details to make the story flow. I give it four stars because of the way he makes you feel like you are actually in the story.
Rating: Summary: THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS. I GIVE IT ALL THUMBS UP!! Review: I think The Silver Chair has a little mystery in it. I like the characters Jill, Scrubb and Puddleglum.. I have only read the first four stories of the series. So far my this is my favorite one. Many of my friends have read this series and said it is their favorite one. I totally agree. C.S. Lewis is one of my favorite authors. I would suggest this series to people who like fantasy and intriguing stories.
