This is the second book of the Narnia series, where we are first introduced to Lucy, Peter, Susan and Edmund.

I enjoyed this one much more than the first book, because not only was I more familiar with the story but I was more invested in the lives of the children and their characters.

In this adventure, Lucy is the first to arrive in Narnia and tries to convince the others of this magical place. Of course, they don’t believe. In due time all the children happen upon Narnia and proceed to help Aslan defeat the evil queen and restore Narnia to it’s original state.

Can’t wait for the next adventure.

This is my all time favorite book! Lucy was the very first character I ever related to. I love how easy it is to read this book. ( )

The book the lion witch and the wardrobe is a fantasy and/or adventure book.

This story is about 4 main characters. Peter the eldest, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy the youngest of the 4. They are living with a professor in a mysterious old house, and one day they decided to play hide and seek. Till when Lucy found a mysterious room with nothing but a big wardrobe. Lucy had gone in the wardrobe to hide in there, but had suddenly found herself stepping on snow, and seen that she had moved into a mysterious place. She had found a faun - half man half goat. Who she had lunch and tea with. The rest of the brothers and sister also found out about it, and the 4 children had seen that they were to fight against the white witch, and peter was the leader of all, Aslan who was by there side had sacrificed himself so the others could go into war and win. Till suddenly Lucy the youngest had used a potion that she was given and had given Aslan another life. Peter in war had fought against the white which. He couldn’t win against her, she was too hard to handle when suddenly, and Aslan came and attacked her and finished her off. Peter became the king, Susan the queen, Edmund the brace knight, and Lucy the princess.

Best thing about the book was the enthusiasm and the way the adventure of retrieving the land of Narnia. How they were using Christianity part of it example, the sons of Adam (Peter and Edmund) and the daughters of Eve (Susan and Lucy), Aslan was God. There was nothing that I thought was boring, the story was very enthusiastic and entertaining to read.

You might like this book If you also enjoyed the magicians nephew which is the first book in the chronicles of Narnia series. A good place to read this book would be at a library because when it is silent around you and you are reading the book it will get you into the story line of the book as if you were part of it, the story feels like it is bringing you into it and you are part of the story.

I rate this book 5/5 because it is a good book to read, the book is very creative and imaginative, the story line to the book is fantastic and shows the meaning of the story.

Rich in characterizations, interesting storylines about sacrifice and redemption. I can't say any more about this that hasn't been said more eloquently by others. ( )

What is there left to say about The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe? It is a book so long- and well-loved by the public that there is no point attempting any kind of plot summary or general introduction to Lewis' world. Moreover, because it is a personal favorite I cannot bring myself to criticize it, and because it has been part of my life for longer than I can remember, I cannot approach it with any sense of novelty. I cannot even recall whether I was read this or saw the BBC miniseries first, but in any case it was the book that stuck with me, and became the first piece of literature I truly loved. (And yes, I'm quite aware that I'm describing Lewis' creation in near-romantic terms!) Other childhood favorites have been dethroned, other obsessions have faded away, but I have always remained a loyal Narnian.

In light of the recent films' attempts to turn both this and Prince Caspian into Tolkienesque epics, as well as the completely misguided labeling of the books as "allegory" by fans and critics alike, I find myself returning to Lewis' own description of Narnia as a "fairy-story." As with the folktales of the Brothers Grimm or Hans Christian Anderson, I mainly think of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe in terms of images: a parcel-laden faun and a young girl walking underneath an umbrella in a winter landscape, an imperious white-skinned queen in her reindeer-drawn sledge, a noble Lion lying shorn and dead on a cold stone table. It has a simplicity, clarity, and charm rare in twentieth-century literature.

But unlike many children's stories with imagery that lingers, nostalgically, in one's mind, I find that Lewis' work is just as impressive now as it was ten years ago, and that I notice new things about it every time I pick it up. The writing is excellent; as I read it aloud to my younger sister over the past few weeks, I found the words tripped effortlessly out my mouth, despite the lengthy nature of certain sentences. Because he is here concerned with introducing a new world and a large cast of characters, there is not quite as much character development as some of the other entries in the series, but the characters are always real and (where applicable) human, fairly leaping off the page in their vitality. In today's books one rarely discovers such unapologetically good or evil characters as Aslan or the Witch, and yet there has never been a moment when I did not believe in them.

I highly recommend this as well as all of Lewis' Narnia books. Indeed, I would class them in that very small but important category of books everybody should read. If you have not yet, well, shame on you! Get working. ( )
