The Lion the witch and the wardrobe is an excellent journey into an imaginary world. It also combines a great message of sacrifice and forgiveness. I was very excites at the start of reading this book and by the end the excitement just increased. C. S. Lewis uses great imagination and draws you into the story with each page. As you o deeper into the world of Narnia, the action increases but so does the message. I read it when i as a kid and just recently picked it up and had the same feeling of excitement. I remember just getting engrossed in the magic of this book. The images just blew my mind. For adults there is also the parallels to life that can be made. I would recommend this book to anyone with a reat imagination. You will not be disappointed. For those who are philisophical this book is for you also. The theme of sacrifice and forgiveness is played out all the way through. Especially in the relationship of peter and his brother. The movie, although enjoyable, that was made from this does not compare to the vividness expressed in reading this book.
Overall getting this book you will not lose so go read it!!!

More The Lion, the Witch, and the W... reviews
This book grabs your attention from the very beginning with its vivid descriptions and it also keeps you guessing as to what will happen next. While it is not really a mystery book, it does have some elements of mystery and that is part of what makes it so intriguing. I recommend this book to both children and adults. As a child it was one of my favorite books and read it so many times that I had practically memorized it. For adults who for one reason or another have not yet read it, they really … more

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is the first of the six books in the Chronicles of Narnia. These books were written by a Cambridge University English professor named C.S. Lewis. The first book in the series takes place in 1940 England during the Second World War. It introduces readers to the world of Narnia as seen through the eyes and actions of a group of children who discover this magical world by traveling through a wardrobe that's located inside … more

A friend of mine gave me this book, saying it's one of the best children book around. Really... who would read a children book? But page after page, chapter after chapter, I found myself not only enjoying the text but also laughing along or feeling depressed with the characters. The book evolves around four children who are sent to live in an English countryside because of World War II. On a rainy day, the four children stumble upon a room which old a huge oak Wardrobe. … more

THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE is the first book in the Chronicles of Narnia. It doesn't matter how the books are being published right now, if you read them for the first time out of order (starting with THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW instead of LWW) it seriously takes away some of the magic, suspense, and mystery of the books. With that said, THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE is a classic piece of children's fiction. Written by the great C.S. Lewis the story tells the tale of how … more

C.S Lewis creates the beginning of a wonderful masterpiece series with this book. He creates a thrilling adventure that rips a group of brothers and sisters, who are orphans, through their normal world into a magical world that has been taken over by a perfectly frightening nemesis. The book is so simple to read, yet so very powerful at the same time! This series is definitely on my top ten list. This group of brothers and sisters are sent off to live in a large mansion far … more

What can I say about C.S. Lewis that hasn't already been said. This book and it's series has been a favorite for many years. It has been made more popular over the last few with the make of the movie, but I recommend reading the book and sharing it with your children/grandchildren. This story is fun, exciting, adventurous and daring. It has great imaginative creatures, but also holds a deeper secondary story to it. It opens up our imaginations … more

I have 7 children, and they all liked both the book as well as the movie for the Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. Since this book is geared to children, and i know that i have 7 of them that loved it, I have to give it 4 stars.

The obvious plotline symbolism makes this perfect for children, but it's still a great story for adult readers. I recommend reading all 7--The Last Battle is the deepest from an adult perspective.
