A precursor of the Harry Potter style of fantasy books - a shorter and simpler story. It also reminded me so much of Enid Blyton, but with much more complex world building. I was surprised by how quick a read this book was; I was expecting a long-winded explanation of the fantasy, and a much more complicated plot. Good book. Definitely recommend. Will keep the next books on the series in mind for future reading.

This is the best of the Narnia books and obviously the most famous. It was short but a prettt good fantasy novel overall. I particularly enjoyed the talking animals which is traditional of the Germanic and English fables.

This was a fun story like the last time I read it. I was surprised at how much I remembered was really from the movie instead. I am glad I re-read it. I also feel I caught more of the Christian references this time.

Narnia is wonderful. A classic fantasy that is descriptive and imaginative - very light/easy read :)

Also - It’s crazy to me how many parallels there are in this book to Christianity and the life of Christ
