Strong, likable characters, and some to dislike as well。
Erma,
Very creative and will kept your interest。
Wendy,
Read to my children。
Laura,
I made a couple of attempts to get through the full series as a child。 Reading the series again - and finally making it to the end - reminded me of why I struggled。 Completed so I knew what happened and could scratch it off my '100 books you should read' poster, but I wouldn't recommend struggling through all seven。 I made a couple of attempts to get through the full series as a child。 Reading the series again - and finally making it to the end - reminded me of why I struggled。 Completed so I knew what happened and could scratch it off my '100 books you should read' poster, but I wouldn't recommend struggling through all seven。 。。。more
Merel De,
I loved the movies so I wanted to read the books。 They’re very weird and complicated sometimes。 But very magical。

The Magician’s Nephew 4/5 stars Written in 1955, this was not the first book written but one of the last but it is the first story chronologically。 This is a prequel to the series set in 1900 and revolves around 12 year old Digory, Polly Plummer, his friend and his Uncle who has given them magic rings which takes them to the land of Narnia and the beginning of the Narnian world and book series。 Never having read the books when I was younger, I enjoyed this and look forward to the rest of the st The Magician’s Nephew 4/5 stars Written in 1955, this was not the first book written but one of the last but it is the first story chronologically。 This is a prequel to the series set in 1900 and revolves around 12 year old Digory, Polly Plummer, his friend and his Uncle who has given them magic rings which takes them to the land of Narnia and the beginning of the Narnian world and book series。 Never having read the books when I was younger, I enjoyed this and look forward to the rest of the stories。 The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe4/5 stars Lucy finds a wardrobe while visiting a professor and discovers that it leads to the land of Narnia。 Her siblings don’t believe her but when they enter the wardrobe they realize she was not lying。 While in Narnia, they realize that the White Witch has cast an evil spell on the land and with the help of a lion named Aslan, they attempt to free Narnia from the Witch。 Enjoyable!The Horse and His Boy 3/5 stars Shasta, a young boy is on the run accompanied by Bree who is a talking horse。 They hear of a dangerous plot by the Calormen who want to take over Narnia and they rush to stop the plan。 Not my favorite of the three stories of Narnia that I have read so far but not bad。 Prince Caspian: The Return To Narnia 3/5 stars The siblings Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy are returning to boarding school when they are whisked away to go back to Narnia where they find Trumpkin the dwarf who explains to them what is going on in Narnia。 King Caspian has been killed by his brother who is now ruling Narnia。 The siblings take up Prince Caspian’s cause to be instated as the new King。 Not my favorite of the series but it was well written。The Voyage of the Dawn Treader 4/5 stars King Caspian has built the ship, the Dawn Treader to take his crew to find the End of The World (Aslan’s country)。 Invited on the voyage is Edmund, Lucy and their cousin Eustace (Peter and Susan are now too old to go on the journey)。 Caspian is looking for the seven lords that were banished by his uncle。 They go to where no other ship has gone。 This has to be my favorite book so far in the series and I couldn’t wait to see what happened。The Silver Chair 4/5 stars In this book, the storyline follows Cousin Eustace and Jill Pole and their adventures since the 4 siblings of the previous books are now too old。 Eustace and Jill are being pursued by bullies at school and while running away from them they found a locked gate which is now unlocked and the kids are able to escape their bullies。 However, they are now on the edge of a precipice and Jill accidentally pushes Eustace over it。 She then sees Aslan, the lion and he has a task for her and Eustace。 They are to find the missing Prince Rilian who is believed to have been kidnapped! This was good。 This is the second to the last book in the series。 The Last Battle 4/5 stars This is the last book of the Narnian adventures and follows Eustace Scrubb and Jill Pole as they unlock the secret of the fake Aslan (aka the donkey, Puzzle) and his conspirator Shift, an ape that are wreaking havoc to the land including cutting down all the Talking Trees。 King Tirian, a descendant of King Caspian X hears the news, he takes off to help prevent the destruction。 。。。more

Nice series!
Jaime,
I have always enjoyed the first three books in the series and finally got around to finishing the collection。I would read the first few again, but probably not the last in the series。 I was a tad disappointed at the final reveal which left me with more questions about the Narnia world and I felt I was left hanging and trying to wrap my head around the idea "What was it all for then? Did anything matter?"

Brianna,
I grew up with this series on my bookshelf, but never bothered to read past the first, most popular book。 In 2020, I decided to change that and dedicate the time to read through the whole series。 In its clear, simple style, C。S。 Lewis writes this Biblical allegory to teach children about the power of love, forgiveness, adventure, and loss。 I was captivated through most of the books, but some dragged on as I felt myself thinking, "okay I get it。" Although it would benefit younger readers the most I grew up with this series on my bookshelf, but never bothered to read past the first, most popular book。 In 2020, I decided to change that and dedicate the time to read through the whole series。 In its clear, simple style, C。S。 Lewis writes this Biblical allegory to teach children about the power of love, forgiveness, adventure, and loss。 I was captivated through most of the books, but some dragged on as I felt myself thinking, "okay I get it。" Although it would benefit younger readers the most, I think many of them will lose interest after the second book。 It took me a few months to finish the series as I kept putting it down in favor of other novels。 It feels religious in a secular way, if that makes sense。 Especially in the final two books, I felt that The Chronicles of Narnia was more preaching than plot。 。。。more

A C_Reviewer,
A couple of years ago, I received The Chronicles of Narnia for Christmas, and it was one of my favorite presents。 Personally, I enjoyed The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe the best, along with Prince Caspian and The Boy and His Horse。 The other books were very good as well。 However, I would say that I disliked the last one of the bookthe most (it took me some time to understand one of the last few chapters of the book), but the concluding lines were absolutely marvelous。The Chronicles of Narni A couple of years ago, I received The Chronicles of Narnia for Christmas, and it was one of my favorite presents。 Personally, I enjoyed The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe the best, along with Prince Caspian and The Boy and His Horse。 The other books were very good as well。 However, I would say that I disliked the last one of the bookthe most (it took me some time to understand one of the last few chapters of the book), but the concluding lines were absolutely marvelous。The Chronicles of Narnia is timeless, and absolutely wonderful。 People of all ages should read the book。 。。。more
