Summary: lion witch and so on...........
Review: This book was a really good book. It had lots of action like fighting and runing in to the witch. I like the part when the witch makes the boy turkish delite and to get more he has to get his brothers and sisters to narnia.this book was a really good ending. It had some boring parts in it but all books should have. So i whould recomend that you read this book. It has alout of action. This is a kind of book that you want to keep reading and never put the book down.

Summary: Chronicals of Narnia Radio Theater
Review: Wow! I just listened to a copy of the radio theater version of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and was VERY impressed with the quality of the production. It's very different from just a "book on tape." It takes your imagination away with it. I felt as though I was there crunching through the snow in the wood on the other side of the wardrobe and there through the tea in the beaver's house, etc., etc. I was listening in my car and sat in the driveway for 15 minutes to hear the end of the first tape!

I wanted to hear the production before I sent it to my neices for Christmas. I've read the books several times and was concerned with whether or not the radio theatre would accurately represent the books. I was not disappointed. I got them for my neices and <smile> will most likely end up purchasing copies for myself of the whole series once they are available.

Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this radio theater series to lovers of Lewis's books and especially to parents(even if they don't know Lewis's writings all that well). It's an adventure! Oh, it also would be great on long car trips for both children and adults.

Summary: The Title of My Review
Review: This story starts out in London, but the four kids were then force to move to the heart of the country due to air-raids. This story also takes place called "Narnia," which is like a fantasy land.

I have not read a book similar to this at all. This book is amazing because of its' creative caracters and events. I really enjoyed reading this book because everything was perfectly arranged in this book. This book has a queen that ruled Narnia, and she was evil. No one liked her, her name is White Witch. She has no respect for anyone but herself, she say bad things to people, for an example on page 29. She said "I see you are an idiot, whatever else you may be." The characters in Narnia are partly animal of some kind, or they may be a dwarf.

I would recommend this book to anyone. There is nothing wrong with this book and it should be known forever.

Summary: Why people like the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Review: People like the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe because of these reasons. It has a wide range of interesting characters. It also has a great plot. One of its characters is Aslan, a great lion who rules all Narnia. The white witch turns Aslan into stone and he gets free. Another character the white witch makes it always winter in Narnia. The four daughters and sons of Adam and Eve get into Narnia by the wardrobe in the spare room. They think they stay in Narnia for many years but they go back through the wardrobe into the spare room and its only been but five minutes. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.

Summary: The Lincoln Book Buddy Review
Review: This is a really exciting story. When four real children enter the wardrobe its a whole new world. Time does not move in the same way. Its winter all the time but never Christmas. Fauns and talking animals live in the wardrobe land which can be a scary place. This book is good for ages 9 to 99! Our book buddy club read this for our first project. Our High school buddies picked the book. It was cool!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lions, Witches and Wardrobes--Oh My!
Review: Because it is so spectacular, I'm choosing The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe to be the first book I review here at Amazon. I first fell in love with this story (and the subsequent volumes in the series) when my fifth-grade teacher read it to our class. Though it has been more than a decade since, this book has remained one of my all-time favorite works of literature, and I try to reread it once a year. It has an enchanting effect on the heart, mind and soul that never diminishes.

The novel features four British children: Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy (Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve) who discover a magical world hidden behind fur coats in a wardrobe. In "Narnia", they encounter an endless parade of fantastic characters and events that aid them in their quest to free the land of Narnia from the spell of the White Witch. She makes winter a permanent season and turns those who oppose her into stone. The most prominent Narnians are the talking animals, but especially the lion Aslan who, with the children's help, must return spring and benevolent rule to the land.

On a more analytical note, I find it fascinating how C.S. Lewis uses allegory to loosely bridge his fictional world with well-known themes and stories from the Bible. You can most easily recognize this in the ever-present battle between good and evil and the symbolic representation of Christ's Resurrection in the guise of Aslan's death and revival on the Stone Table. Which fulfills an "even deeper magic from before the dawn of time."

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a modern classic that should be included in EVERYONE'S library. It will leave you completely satisfied, but at the same time craving more (which can be found in the other six volumes of the Chronicles of Narnia series). Oh, to sit and rule at Cair Paravel while munching on Turkish Delight!

Summary: Magical Moments in Childhood Reading!!
Review: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is one of my most beloved tales from childhood. I have read it at least a dozen times. C.S. Lewis took me into the fantasy land of Narnia with Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy, Aslan, the White Witch, and all the other characters. I would sit for hours and read it over and over, reliving every tiny detail. This is one of the best books I have ever read as a child. I would recommend it for all kids, of any age!! I have not read 4 of the other book in the series, but plan on buying and reading them as soon as I can get my hands on them and starting from the beginning again!!

Rating: 5 stars
