Great story and superb imagination. Yes, this is geared towards kids and yes, there is a Christian slant, but speaking as a 51 year old atheist, these elements don't affect anything. This is a great story that is told well and sets up the whole series.

There is some debate online - shocker - but I am firmly in the camp that thinks this is the best book to read first. Highly recommended if you want a tale of high imagination.
