Summary: The book took me into Narnia
Review: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis is the second book in the series The Chronicles of Narnia. I liked it because the children, Lucy, Edmund, Peter and Susan, can go into Narnia just by going through a wardrobe. It was fascinating because a man, ( Mr. Tumnus) was half-man, half-goat. It was funny because Mr. Tumnus keeps Lucy instead of sending her back to "the land of Wardrobe" as Mr. Tumnus calls it. Lucy has a sister named Susan and two brothers named Peter and Edmund. Susan is always worried, Peter is curious and Edmund laughs at everything. Lucy goes back through the wardrobe and brings them with her to Narnia. They help Aslan the lion free Narnia from the evil witch. I liked this book. I liked it because it took me into Narnia.

Summary: Hmm.
Review: Nicely told story, but the more I think about it, the less I like the message, or the version of Christianity which the author puts across

Summary: Encourage your children to read these books!
Review: I feel that any parent who would not encourage their child to read C.S. Lewis' "Chronicles of Narnia" should be charged with neglect. Even though these stories are a kiddie version of the "Bible", where Jesus of Nazareth is replaced by a lion, they are fun to read and bring out the goodness in everyone. These books also show, not just children but anyone who reads them, that people can be swayed by evil, but that everyone can be true at heart. These action adventures have had a lasting impression on me. Yes, I understood that C.S. Lewis was just covering up Christianity with a lion's mane, but I have not let that affect my relegious views in any way. I did take the lessons of kindness and forgiveness to heart however. Even though my nephew was only a year old this past Christmas, I bought him the whole set of the "Narnia Chronicles", hoping that someday he will find joy in them like I did.

Summary: Very well written.
Review: I would never give any book a 10, unless it captured my heart time and time again, this book deserves it. I've read it fourteen times now and my mind dreams on and on for fortnights and my heart is singing and wailing to see the blessed Naria of which Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy talk about seeing. It makes my day bright and gay to read about such happy adventures that the four children have together. At least it's much better than reading about the misfortune in Jonsboro, Arkansas or about some gangs shooting at one another, etc. The Chronicles of Narnia are a wonderful collection to pass down from generation to generation. The best, though, is The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

Summary: Such an enchanting, mystical book
Review: I have read this book over and over again, it's one of those. I am now in 8th grade and in fourth grade the teacher read all six books from the Chronicles of Narnia to us. I now read them to my sister and enjoy them so much myself as well. Presently, I am looking for information as I am composing a project on Clive Staple Lewis and the Narnia books. I have encouraged all of my friends to get wrapped up in them and they indeed have; and have all thanked me. There are so many great sites with amazing things. I never look at any of the pictures of the characters, since I do not want the way I have created them with my imagination to be replaced by an artist's point of view (no offense). In conclusion, I would like to say that I think everyone should be swept into Narnia, no matter what age they might be, they will all find the books (especially 'The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe') fascinating and delightful. I can almost feel the fur coats at my finger tips, and the snow crunch beneath my feet, if you know what I mean!!!

Summary: It changed my life!
Review: I dreaded reading this book for the first time in tenth grade, as I disliked fantasy. Much to my surprise, I could not put the book down. With tears and fascination, I was drawn into a story that pierced my heart. The genius of C.S. Lewis masterfully wove a tale that I, at first thought was simply a fantasy story of some children and talking animals. However, as I devoured the book (and the subsequent books in the series), I realized that this was no ordinary story. Though in clever allegory, this is the story of our world's past, present and future. The true meaning is for you to hopefully, discover for yourself, so I shall say no more!

Review: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Rating:
Summary: Fascinating, timeless, perfect for younger readers.
Review: It is interesting to note that, as Clive Staples Lewis' non-fictional apologetic works seem to be going "out of fashion" in favor of works from more sophisticated theologians with 1990's sensibilites, the Chronicles of Narnia, introduced by the above title, have neither lost their audience or power. This is to be expected. I'm thankful for such a quality series, which can be read simply as exciting out-of-this-world fantasy, or for those up to the challenge, as a complicated allegorical system. This story has a remarkable reputation with youngsters, but any adult who has yet to read it will find it suprisingly rewarding.

Summary: "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe."
Review: This book was a fantastic read. Enraptured was I in the prose and the way the it flowed. From the beginning when the children are sent to the country-side mansion to escape the air raids in London is a bit of a history lesson that children, as well as, adults are treated to. There are little lessons in morality, religion, history, and undeniable fantasy wrapped in a story sure to please. I read this book again and again and from the moment Lucy steps through the wardrobe door and pushes her way back through what seems and impossibly large wardrobe, through fur coat after coat, and finally into the forest, hearing the snow crunch beneath her feet, I was hooked. Hats off to C.S. Lewis for making literature that has kept me young in mind and heart.
