Um leitura gostosa e muito nostálgica.
Nem imagino o que deve ter sido ler esses livros quando criança e atiçar a imaginação dessa forma. Acho uma pena não terem terminado de adaptar para o cinema o resto dos livros :( mas esse livro/filme tem um lugar muito especial no meu coração S2

Yeah, really strong storytelling. The concept, plot and characters are all great, and Aslan really does come across fantastically even though he’s only in about 60 pages or so.
Perfect children’s book - I wish it was a little longer because it’s so rich and imaginative, but then that’s my opinion coming into it as an adult, so I’m kind of missing the point.
Also, I loved the continuous begging for child readers to please not close themselves in wardrobes.

3.5! i cant remember if ive ever read the book of narnia but i have an obsession with the movies so wanted to re-read and it seems very familiar but cant tell if it's because ive watched the movies an unhealthy amount of times or because ive read the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe before.
edmund is even more annoying in the book and honestly it made the book a lot more entertaining.

it was wonderful to finally read this classic. And I loved it a lot.
I must say, though, almost a bit shamefully, that I prefer the movie to the book.
It doesn't happen often, but there it is.

I watched the movie as a kid! Might’ve also read the book but I can’t remember. Regardless, I remember the feeling of wanting to try Turkish Delight myself and see what all the talk was about. Reading this (maybe again?) I can say that returned! Although I’ve heard that it might not be as good as what it’s portrayed as in the book. As an adult though, I imagine that many sweets (as much as Edmund ate) would probably make me feel unwell… so that.
But anyway! I wish I read this at bedtime rather than in the day—it feels much more like a bedtime story. Cozy and all. A classic! We’ll see if eventually I get through the other 6 (specifically before Gerwig’s adaptations premiere).

What a delightful journey back to Narnia! The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a timeless classic that blends adventure, wonder, and subtle depth in a way that’s hard not to love. The Pevensie siblings—Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy—stumble through a wardrobe into a magical world ruled by the icy White Witch and awaiting the return of the noble lion, Aslan. The imagery is vivid, from the snow-dusted forests to Mr. Tumnus’s cozy tea party, and Lewis has a knack for making even the smallest moments feel enchanting.
I adored the characters, especially Lucy’s earnest curiosity and Edmund’s prickly redemption arc—his Turkish Delight obsession is such a relatable flaw. Aslan’s presence adds a quiet gravitas that elevates the story beyond a simple fairy tale. The pacing clips along nicely, though I’ll admit the ending felt a tad rushed, like Lewis was eager to wrap up the battle and crown the kings and queens.
It’s not a perfect book—some of the allegory can feel heavy-handed if you’re looking for it, and the dialogue occasionally creaks with that old-fashioned stiffness. But those are minor quibbles. This is a warm, imaginative tale that captures the magic of childhood discovery. Four stars for a story that still feels like stepping through a wardrobe into something extraordinary.
