Após adiar a leitura d’As Crónicas de Nárnia durante anos, optei por investir numa primeira leitura da coleção seguindo a ordem original de publicação dos livros.

Gostei particularmente do facto de C. S. Lewis ter descrito detalhadamente os espaços que compreendem a ação e os acontecimentos que a compõem, recorrendo a uma escrita simples e adequada às crianças, permitindo-lhes visualizar facilmente a história. Além disso, mesmo sabendo que o autor pretendia estabelecer algumas pontes entre O Leão, A Feiticeira e o Guarda-Roupa e a Bíblia, para a maioria das crianças, acredito que este não passará de um conto acerca da díade bondade-maldade e das consequências dos nossos atos.

Embora, neste primeiro volume, se destaquem intensamente as características menos positivas do Edmund e ele tenha direito a um arco de redenção, através do qual se torna uma pessoa justa e acarinhada, gostava que as personalidades do Peter, da Susan e da Lucy também tivessem sido mais bem exploradas. Aguardo para perceber se os restantes livros serão utilizados para desenvolver este trabalho e aprofundar as outras personagens...

This was a cute book. It was short and simple, and I can see why it's a classic. The characters were good, the plot was adorable and predictable, and the writing style was easy to follow.

I thought I would never say that but I enjoyed the movie slightly more than the book…?! Idk, the book kinda seemed to fast paced in the end. There were little to no descriptions of the battle or the travel parts or the nature or the coronation or …
I know this is a children’s book but certain parts simply were missing. The book kinda lacked the magical escape included in the movie. Still it’s a lovely story with a beautiful world to be lost in. I just adore the creation of this wonderful place and its creatures.

This book only gets better as I get older! There are new things to see and love every time. I love that Lewis is able to perfectly control his allegory while constructing such a lovely story with lovely characters.

I watched the movies and I actually remembered enjoying the first one (and hating the 2nd one) so I decided that I would actually sit down and read the book. The book was okay in the first half, but then in the second half Lewis's sexism and his heavy-handed religious metaphors really showed their behind. I also hate that Edmund really didn't get any crap from his family for betraying them. I heard that this series gets worse so I will not be reading further.

This was just adorable.

Having only watched the movie I’m surprised how close the movie adaption stuck with the source material.

Even tho I love reading all this new ya books and they are fun and all but sometimes I miss to read some classic children books that makes you feel like a child again. And this book is perfect example of that. It just brings back memories when my dad would read or tell us stories before going to bed.
