There is very little I can say about the Chronicles of Narnia that people do not already know. At first glance it appears to be a story about a group of children that find their way to a magical world and they adventures that they go on while there. However that isn’t really what this story is about; like so many of Lewis’ works of fiction it is really about the story of sin, evil, a savior, and redemption. Each character in the story is a representation for someone else or some other trait in the larger story of humanity and creation. While the story is certainly written for a younger audience the writing is still of an exceptional quality. While I wouldn’t recommend these to just anyone, given their setting and more whimsical nature, I would recommend them to any children and anyone that enjoys more “lighthearted” fiction.

Fantastic art, brilliant story, great characters, some of the best dialogue in the history of comics. Having it in colour really enhances the story too. I feel like I've said this before, but when you read something you loved ten years ago and you still love it, you know it's Good. Not much else to say about this one!

Paige and I read this this past weekend and we had a BLAST doing it. Writing and story telling that appeals to both the young and older. Super witty and fun.

Great design and interesting characters. Just kicking off so a little bit of intrigue but excited to read on.

Read this as it appeared on a Top 50 Children's Book list.
Intrigued as I don't try many graphic novels.
I didn't find it particularly entertaining. It wasn't funny, I didn't like the characters. I'm not interested in reading further as it's not a genre I really like, but I did quite like the style of drawing and the look of the Bones. This might be one book that you need to read at the right age to appreciate.
