I started this last year and got in a slump when reading it with my original intentions of doing a full Chronicles of Narnia reread falling through. I picked it up today and refreshed my memory a little bit before continuing where I left off and I flew through it! I feel like now I really understand the Genesis connection the book obviously represents and I am excited to see how that changes my perspective on the rest of the series as I read The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and some of the others when I was a lot younger and didn’t catch on to the Biblical and Spiritual connections. I love how it is never outrightly said that Aslan is a representative of God but everyone feels an obvious power from Him and a familiarness and comfort to those who follow, so good! I can’t wait to read the rest of the series and read more of C.S. Lewis

The nostalgia was real! I love this book so much and if you have children I highly recommend them reading it while they are still young! It made me so happy when I read it the first time when I was around six years old. I still love it, but it hits diffrent when you are that young. It is fantastic!

I love the Narnia books. I read them to my older kids, and now I and reading them to my younger kids. The boxed set we have has the Magician's Nephew as the first book. I think would would read it last if I ever read the series to kids again. Lewis wrote it last, and there are things in it that are definitely looking back to the other books. I only think that it is listed as the first book because it is set chronologically before the other books, but lets face it chronology isn't everything, and often nothing, in story telling.
