"I will definitely read this one to my children. C.S. Lewis has a lovely way of putting religious principles into children's terms, using rich symbolism and simple truths. This is the first Narnia book I've read, but I'm sure I'll read more in the future. " — Breanna (4 out of 5 stars)

" Cool book. I really like the characters and how the author describes Narnia. Truly awesome. "
" Listened to the audio book "
" This book was good in my poion. I really like C.S. Lewis as an author. I think that he does a great job with his books and not only is his first one really good, but each one has the same amount of mystery and not wanting to stop reading until you are finished. "
" C.S. Lewis was one of my favourite authors when growing up and I loved the Chronicles of Narnia series. Made sure i re-read the entire series every year!! "
" While I loved the book and the imagery it presented the religious undertones were rather annoying. "
" I think it is a great book full of mystery and surprise "
" Read this to the kids at bedtime. While I owned these editions as a child (and I still do), I hadn't really spent any time with them at all. In fact, this is the only one I had read. We all enjoyed it. Lots of big themes and some scary bits. "
" I read it when I was young. Well, I tried. twice. but I just couldn't... I don't know... I didn't found a lot of interest in it. "
" This is a reread for me. I love this book - it evokes such memories and feelings of happiness. "
" Childhood <3 "
" iThink the book && the movie are GREAT! <3 "
" Didn't make it through the book, I don't know what happened to make me fall out of it. But I don't remember anything that stands out. I would rather watch the movie :P "

" Loved it as a kid, loved it as an adult! "
" Wonderful childrens book that even adults enjoy "
" Magnificent. It is amazing not only how much of this book I had forgotten, but also some of the small details I remembered while reading it. Such a great story. "
" Good vs. evil, elements of Christianity, and fantasy are uniquely interwoven into an ageless story that should be read more than once. This may have been written for children, but it is truly a book for all ages. "
" Maybe if I read this book when I was a little, I would appreciate this kind of story. "
" Great read during the Easter season. "
" One of the greats in fantasy novels! Truely enjoyed it! "
" A good story, and a good recording. In fact, I think it's better read aloud. "
" Nevermind that there was a "secret message"... really enjoyed the story. "
" I like to show this book to the 6th graders right before Christmas break. I read the part about the white witch where she pulls up in her sleigh and questions Edmond and he stammers and she is sooo wicked sounding. The 6th graders love it. "
" I have reread this book at least 4 times and I get something different out of of it each time I do. Friendship/loyalty/family and all the little things that make a world tick are in there, you just need to go looking. "
" Gawd, I cannot describe how utterly, absolutely, indescribably incredible this book is. I'll write a real review later, I'm just... Oh my gawd. "
" Pretty good, but I watched the movie first which changes your opinion of books. "
" Its the best book for children .. I love it so simple so magical .... And Oh i wil read it again just for remember. "
