Excellent book!! I read it in one day!! Couldn't put it down!! I definitely would recommend it to anyone looking for a great read!! ( )

Oh OH OH OH!!! it is a C.S. Lewis writting. Fast moving, lots of content... OH!! ( )

I actually enjoyed this book more than The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, although that could be because I was less familiar with it. It provides a fascinating background for the series, but is itself filled with action and great characters. ( )

I really liked this book, and the series for that matter. I enjoyed reading this book from the perspective of Digory, knowing that this is just the beginning to a series that doesn't necessarily include him. This book was exciting and full of adventure that I feel sure would keep an audience of students listening. The books in these series would make an easy writing lesson by having the students write similar stories about particular events, that are extravagant. ( )

C.S. Lewis' The Magician's Nephew, book 1 of the Chronicles of Narnia, gives the reader an enchanting introduction to the magical land of Narnia. In this unforgettable story, British schoolchildren Polly and Digory inadvertently tumble into the Wood Between the Worlds, where they meet the evil Queen Jadis and, ultimately, the great, mysterious King Aslan. We witness the birth of Narnia and discover the legendary source of all the adventures that are to follow in the seven books that comprise the series.

The Magician's Nephew is a compelling read. It is clear from the beginning that the wonderful imagination of C.S. Lewis is what has kept these books alive for all these years. I very much enjoyed reading this classic of children's fantasy literature. ( )
