I read this book as a child and loved it. It showed me so many thigns about life and sacrifice for the cause (in a Christian respect, that is). Aslan is a powerful representation of Christ, and the adventure for the four children is exciting. It's certainly not a typical child fantasy novel, but it was a great read if you ask me. I remember being frightened by the White Witch and feeling rescued with Aslan returned in the end. It's a great parallel to Christianity, geared for children's minds and fantasy. I wish I'd continued the series, but I never did for some reason. I saw the movie recently, and I enjoyed it - they did a nice job of making the book a motion picture and it didn't really steer from the book's storyline that I can remember.   hide

I honestly think that this is the worst children's book on the face of the planet. This book was directed towards children so I think that it should have had aspects that children love best. It didn't make me laugh or feel happy. In fact, I think that the children who read these kind of books fall into a fantasy world. They don't know the difference when they read this book. Sometimes, it is a good thing but for most kids this book is too abnormally serious.   hide

A very good book for small kids who like to read and have adventure at heart. Also great if you are looking for something to read to a kid, it is very short - as one would expect. Lewis has a very good imagination and it does the story well. I may have appreciated it much less than it is worth ...    hide

Child hood memories - getting lost in the cupboard. This is one of the books that got my reading and day dreaming class.. Brilliant. Enjoyed the movie as well. When I read this as a kid I did not relate to the bible - and am pleased I did not. To many people who try and be to clever over these things.   hide

Este libro tiene una narrativa sencilla, y lo lees rapidisimo, muy recomendado para niños, aunque si eres adulto puede ver la semejanza de el leon que le dan con Jesucristo, ya veras porque.   hide
