This was a cute book. It was short and simple, and I can see why it's a classic. The characters were good, the plot was adorable and predictable, and the writing style was easy to follow.

I tried to read this a few times as a kid but could never get past how much the White Witch scared me. I'm really glad I got to read it once I got older, though, because it's a really fun, cute, lighthearted read, if a little shallow and very heavy on the Jesus metaphors. I really liked the ending, too, and it made me want to read the others!! I'd recommend this to any kid or really any person who is looking for something light and whimsical to read.

I’ll be the first to admit that my disinterest upon finishing this book is likely colored by my love of the movie (which does many things better than the book). I also dislike Lewis’s treatment of women. The actual world of Narnia is a fascinating sandbox and I wish it had been explored more in the book. I felt as though we were running past things that I wanted to stop and examine.

I thought I would never say that but I enjoyed the movie slightly more than the book…?! Idk, the book kinda seemed to fast paced in the end. There were little to no descriptions of the battle or the travel parts or the nature or the coronation or …
I know this is a children’s book but certain parts simply were missing. The book kinda lacked the magical escape included in the movie. Still it’s a lovely story with a beautiful world to be lost in. I just adore the creation of this wonderful place and its creatures.

This book only gets better as I get older! There are new things to see and love every time. I love that Lewis is able to perfectly control his allegory while constructing such a lovely story with lovely characters.
