An awfully abrupt rendition of one of my favorite books - many events are completely re-tooled to allow for the short space resulting in ideas being glossed over (why Edmund hated Peter, for instance).
In the process of abridging, it would have been nice if the adaptor had adjusted the language to make it more suitable for the intended audience (let's face it, this particular adaptation is probably meant for readers of a bit lower level than the regular novel is intended for). Much of the language simply isn't suited for a modern audience - especially not an American one.
The illustrations were nice, but nothing to rave about.
This was more of a glorified picture book with clever placement of text as opposed to a "graphic novel" in the show more truest sense. show less

This book is amazing in every way. I think everyone needs to read it...do I need to say more?
Not really, but I will anyway. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is such a well written book. The prose are nice and the mood and the feeling is very strong. I love it.

C. S. (Clive Staples) Lewis, "Jack" to his intimates, was born on November 29, 1898 in Belfast, Ireland. His mother died when he was 10 years old and his lawyer father allowed Lewis and his brother Warren extensive freedom. The pair were extremely close and they took full advantage of this freedom, learning on their own and frequently enjoying show more games of make-believe. These early activities led to Lewis's lifelong attraction to fantasy and mythology, often reflected in his writing. He enjoyed writing about, and reading, literature of the past, publishing such works as the award-winning The Allegory of Love (1936), about the period of history known as the Middle Ages. Although at one time Lewis considered himself an atheist, he soon became fascinated with religion. He is probably best known for his books for young adults, such as his Chronicles of Narnia series. This fantasy series, as well as such works as The Screwtape Letters (a collection of letters written by the devil), is typical of the author's interest in mixing religion and mythology, evident in both his fictional works and nonfiction articles. Lewis served with the Somerset Light Infantry in World War I; for nearly 30 years he served as Fellow and tutor of Magdalen College at Oxford University. Later, he became Professor of Medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge University. C.S. Lewis married late in life, in 1957, and his wife, writer Joy Davidman, died of cancer in 1960. He remained at Cambridge until his death on November 22, 1963. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
