Summary: One of the greatest stories ever--for children or adults
Review: I'm 33 years old and have just re-read "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe". It is an absolutely gorgeous book--imaginative and beautiful, with a very moral center. It is a Christian allegory. I'm not a Christian, but I can appreciate the skill and the depth of feeling Lewis has for his subject. Aslan the lion is a wonderful character. He is gentle and kind, but can also be fierce and fatal when the situation calls for it. The children are believable--they are basically good at heart, but are certainly not perfect, and Edmund is extremely trying. I'm so glad I re-read this! The first time I heard the story was in fourth grade. Every child in my class was rapt with attention when our teacher read this to us. There is one part of the book where everyone in class put their heads down and cried. Then, the next day, when we heard the next chapter, everyone in class laughed and smiled with relief and joy (everyone who has read this book will know what part I'm writing about!) Read this book, and then re-read it. You will never forget it!

Summary: Excellent
Review: When I was in 3rd grade, I was read this book. I didn't really pay much attention. Then I had a surgery in 6th grade, and as a gift I recieved this book. As I began to read it, I couldn't put it down. Once I finished it, I just had to read the rest of the books. Now, I have read all of the Chronicles of Narnia Series Books. I sincerly suggest people to read this one.

Summary: Good Christian Kid's Classic
Review: This 2 cassette tape-set has been heavily played in our car. The kids love this tale of the magical land of Narnia. The kids in the story learn of self-sacrifice, honor, distinguishing between truth and lies, friendship, etc. As a tape of a screen-play it comes off a bit stilted in places, but still translates well into the imaginations of the young.

Summary: This is a great book that I really enjoyed!
Review: In the book The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, by C.S. Lewis, the characters are amazing. They are probably the part of the book that I liked best. The setting is wonderfuly described. It's almost like you're watching a movie, the setting is so clear. The book is full of adventure and excitment. All the other elements of the book are also beautifuly described with detail and interestingly described. I hope you chose to read this book. I really enjoyed it.

Summary: A wonderful story!
Review: This is a book I read a number of years ago and I still pick it up every now and then. Lewis' story is a classic tale that transports the reader into its pages. I can clearly remember the days when I would climb into my own wardrobe hoping to hear the crunching of snow under my feet, or see the faint glow of a lamp-post in the distance. [admittedly this was only ten years ago!] I recommend the 'Narnia' series to anyone of any age group. 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' was one of my very favourites, as was 'The Voyage of the Dawntreader'. I hope others who buy this book will get as much enjoyment from it and the rest of the series as I did.

Summary: Superb casting make the audio version worthwhile
Review: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe has been eloquently transferred into a wonderful two-hour radio program complete with individual character voices and background effects and music. This version is not to be missed by those who wish to hear the book in addition to reading it. Few parts are cut from the BBC version and is more enjoyable (and complete) than the animated BBC version on videotape. The cast is astounding and read with just the right amount of characterization so that you are drawn into the story. Take note that this should not be a replacement for reading the book, but is a great reminder to those who have read and loved the Chronicles of Narnia. The BBC has done a wonderful job transferring this terrific book which to this day remains one of my all-time favorites.

Summary: If only I cold give it MORE stars!!!!!!!
Review: This book is probably going to turn out as my favorite book ever!! It was my favorite in the series, so far. I am reading #3. I liked it because the author described the scenes and people very well. I liked how Lewis made Lucy sort-of like me. Frisky. Yep. That's me all right. I liked the characters a lot. Lewis has a big imagination. When Edmund betrayed his friends, I was so mad at him. I loved this book a lot. I imagined the queen, or witch, to look beautiful. I especially liked Aslan. He was the coolest! I almost cried when the witch tortured him. But, I cheered at the end. I loved this book so much! I will tresure it FOREVER.

Summary: Mature readers consider this...
Review: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe is a wonderful tool for opening the imagination of readers young and old. However, it is widely known that Lewis has written many essays, poems, and books dealing with theology and different perspectives of life. Many of his writings share his view of a Christian faith. With that in mind, let me share with you my opinions on this book.The Witch, I believe, shares characteristics of the Anti-Christ in that she has had the power to deceive people at her will, and turning into stone those who do not submit to her will. On the brighter side, the Lion possesses the very qualities that oppose the Witch's. He carries out some prophecies of the Messiah. First, he humbly accepts his fate by surrendering. Next, he is put through a violent death. Shortly thereafter he is resurrected and is able to bring salvation to the ones who knew what was right and stayed true to that belief. Those who had opposed the Witch were saved, while all the others were destroyed. Generally, the mature reader will recognize that the Lion has risen, he has won, those who had been held in captivity have been set free, and salvation has been brought to easrth...I mean Narnia.

Review: When I first heard the title, I thought to myself, this will be boring. But when i read the first chapter, I loved it. then I kept wanting to read the next chapter and the next, until I was done. I highly recommend this book to readers of all ages. They should read it and discover the magic of Narnia, that will change their life for ever.

Summary: Four children went to Narnia and killed the evil witch.
Review: Four children named Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy went to another world called Narnia. While in Narnia they met the fearless lion-like creature known as Aslan. Soon, the four children and Aslan freed the people that were turned into stone and killed the evil witch. In the end, when they were all grown ups, they went through the wardrobe and returned to the professor's house and turned back into little kids. This was known as the Golden Age of Narnia.
