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

4.5 / 5 Stars
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was a nostalgic, sweet, wholesome story of adventure, family, and faith.
C.S. Lewis transported me through the wardrobe into the magical world of Narnia, and I was captivated. He masterfully wove Biblical themes and narrative into a beautifully written fantasy novel.
(I did deduct a 0.5 star because I noticed some antiquated views of females - ie, that they cannot and should not be in battle. Additionally, the writting was quite simple - but this is, after all, a children's novel.)
