Author : C. S. Lewis
Recommended by : Nobody
First Impression : Wary (because I'm not sure how religious it's going to be)
Format : Audio


Finish Date : February 2, 2024

Overall : ★★★☆☆ - the movie was better

Writing : ★★★☆☆

Narration : ★★★★☆

Pacing : ★★★★☆

Plot : ★★★☆☆

World/Setting : ★★★★★

Focus : story 

Imagery : ★★★★☆ 

Characters : I think what the movies did to give the children each a unique personality and traits was a good move.  In the book I feel like they kind of all blend together, except for Edmund, who is bewitched most of the time. Mr. Tumnus was annoying as hell in the book and the Witch being so terrified of Aslan with no cool was annoying, the Beavers were more annoying, honestly, everyone was just annoying. 

Feelings Felt : Irritation because a lot of the characters and scenes are more obnoxious in the book.

Favorite Character(s) : probably Mrs. Beaver because she was at least amusing

Most memorable moment : Mrs. Beaver giving the children alcohol 

Last Impression : the movie was better 😂
