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.

I watched the movies and I actually remembered enjoying the first one (and hating the 2nd one) so I decided that I would actually sit down and read the book.  The book was okay in the first half, but then in the second half Lewis's sexism and his heavy-handed religious metaphors really showed their behind. I also hate that Edmund really didn't get any crap from his family for betraying them.  I heard that this series gets worse so I will not be reading further.

This was just adorable. 
Having only watched the movie I’m surprised how close the movie adaption stuck with the source material.

Even tho I love reading all this new ya books and they are fun and all but sometimes I miss to read some classic children books that makes you feel like a child again. And this book is perfect example of that. It just brings back memories when my dad would read or tell us stories before going to bed.
