I used to love these books when I was younger, but when I tried re-reading them a couple of years ago I couldn't even get through the first one...
Really? I don't think I'm ever going to be in danger of that happening. Though I tried watching The Never Ending Story last year and that was disastrous!
I've read The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe more than any other book, but now I notice cumbersome writing. I see too many religious connections that totally went over my head as a kid. And, of course, "Epic Pooh" by Michael Moorcock helped to damage my feelings about Lewis. But the Chronic-WHAT-cles of Narnia made me love fantasy, and for that I doubt I'll ever stop loving them.
Terrific review, Kat.
It's funny but the religious connections NEVER went over my head. Maybe because shortly before I'd read The Chronicles of Narnia, I'd read Genesis, Exodus and Leviticus. I'd also grown up in Sunday school. So in that regard I'm cool because I knew what I was getting into.
Lewis is by no means perfect. His concept of universalism doesn't mesh with any acceptable Christian concept. There IS some cumbersome writing.
I suppose I still love these books anyway - just like you. *Sigh*
Wow, great review! These books never seem to lose their magic do they? I find that the more I read The Chronicles I love them more and more.
This book walked me thru Breast Cancer
I thought The Chronichles of Narnia had only The Lion the witch and the wardrobe but it had six other books.
Really enjoyed your description of how you found these books in the library
This was a great review! I read my first Narnia book in school
Yes this books is such a great book for kids!!!!!
I love 💋💘 narnia🦁
Hey, I'm curious why you thought The Last Battle is hard and frustrating? I loved it personally, but I'm curious as to what you think. Great review!
