Summary: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
Review: I recently read the book the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. I really didn't like the book because one of the brothers messed it up. The author made the book too slow and boring except when you are watching the movie. Lucy cried too much. I really didn't like the characters because they were kind of lame and boring and they need more exciting stuff with the characters. The author needed more excitement in the story and gave more details about the story.
It's about these four kids finding a secret passage in a wardrobe. Lucy, her sister, and her two brothers go into another world where they experience it. The four kids stay with these two beavers and the beavers tell the four kids about the king of Narnia. He is also the king of beasts. The king of beasts and the four kids go into war with this evil witch who wants to rule the whole world. The whole story is about good conquering evil.
My opinion about the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is that I don't like it because of the four kids where whining. You might like the book because it has a lot of adventure and it's also a fairy tale. You might like it because it is funny in some places.

Summary: Read it...
Review: ... but only if you like so called 'timeless classics' that don't have any action! I tried to read this book once, and I kept pushing myself to finish it, but I could not! It was just so boring and strange. Edmond's a jerk - I mean, if you saw a strange person riding about on a carrige pulled by reindeer, would you stop and ask them if you could have turkish delight? Gosh.
Now I am being forced to read this book in Lit Lab. I want to protest, but I like the teacher too much.

Summary: Looking in your wardrobe will never be the same!
Review: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe--what a wonderful way to express the action and fantasy in this novel by C. S. Lewis. The story begins when Peter, Lucy, Susan and Edmund go to live with an old professor in the country. While exploring the professor's large house, the children walk through an almost empty room. Lucy is the only one who stops in the room because she is curious about the enormous wardrobe. She goes inside the wardrobe. Surprisingly, she soon finds herself in an enchanted land, which she finds out is called Narnia. When her brothers and sister find out about this enchanted land, they learn that the white witch has made it always winter --but it never reaches Christmas! The white witch also has a spell on Edmund. But all is not lost. An ancient rhyme in Narnia reads: Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight. At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more. When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death. And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again.

How will this mysterious rhyme help Lucy and her siblings save Narnia? Will they be able to rescue Edmund? People of all ages will enjoy reading this book to find out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Large Print - for any age
Review: This is the second time I read this book. The small print is now uncomfortable for me so I purchased a hardcover, large print edition for myself for Christmas. Great idea!

Not only was the magic of the children's story still there for me to enjoy but now the true wonder of the spiritual touched my heart. Was it the large print or was it that I am now 60 years old and 'see' things differently? Who knows, who cares - what difference does it make. I was blessed to feel like reading this story once again and did so. You can be sure I will read it again.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: one of the best
Review: The first and one of the best of the Narnian Chronicles.
One of the strengths of the series is the creation of children who are human and fallible yet also noble as the "Seven Friends of Narnia."
And the narrator of the audiobook, Michael York, couldn't be better. Even though he might be a bit corny, I like it; it's appropriate for children's stories. I like the way he says, "One should never lock oneself in a wardrobe."

Summary: A Classic Still
Review: Although this was the first Narnia book published, it is the second in the series. It is about four siblings who get sent to a big house in the country during the war. Their names are Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy. This house was owned by an old professer. One day they were playing hide-and-seek and Lucy decides to hide in a wardrobe. She finds that the wardrobe has no back. She walks through and finds herself in the land of Narnia where it is always Winter and never Christmas. She befriends a fawn an he tells her that Narnia was taken over by the White Witch Jadis, and that it is she who turned Narnia into winter. It is she who turns those who do not follow her into stone. The White Witch is completely evil. Lucy finds her way back and tells her siblings. They don't believe her but soon all four find themselves in Narnia, waging a war against the White Witch with Aslan the Lion by their side.

As is true for all the Narnia books, this book is straight-forward with excellent characters and plot. It is a quick read, but you will want to read it over and over again. With all the hype of Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings nowadays, Narnia should become more popular spawning live-action movies and plastic lunch boxes. We'll just have to wait and see.

Summary: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe A review by AJ
Review: The kids are amazed when they see the once dead Aslan alive again. The flabbergasted kids ask all kinds of questions and Aslan tells them to be quiet while they plan revenge against the White Witch. In this scene battle plans are made and Peter shows bravery in this fantasy book.

An amazing battle breaks out with the two sides led by Peter and the White Witch. They ferociously fight back to overthrow the White Witch. In this scene where Peter is wounded in battle, and Lucy heals him with one of her gifts from Father Christmas, will Peter survive?

When they arrive at the White Witch's castle they see stone sculptures and are amazed because they know that they are not sculptures they were people. This shocked even me.
Those are just three of the most exciting parts in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. This is book number two in this nerve-racking series. It was an amazing book that kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I want to read all six of the other books in this phenomenal series. I hope that you will take advantage of any opportunity to read this book. I personally enjoyed the action and adventure in this book.
