5-0 out of 5 stars In response to question about Voyage of the Dawn Treader
One of the reviewers wondered why the text was changed at the end of Chapter 12, The Dark Island.I just reviewed both my editions, and they both match the text on the CD.One edition is a Puffin Book, published by Penguin Books (1977) and the other is the First Harper Trophy edition (2000).I wonder why YOUR edition is different?

4-0 out of 5 stars Book size
Well I remembered how much I loved the Narnia series when I was a kid so when I saw all seven books in a box set I had to have them.There is one thing bothering me though, do these books seem shorter to anyone else?I was sure that the books had more pages to them when I first read them, or maybe it was because I was smaller back then!Anyway, I am glad to own the set, I can't wait to give them to my kids to read if I ever have any...

4-0 out of 5 stars narnia
i bought the 7 books set because i am a great fun of tolkien and i had read about lewis in his biography
5-0 out of 5 stars Good Fun!
I have not read these books since I was quite young.It was great to see they have withstood the test of time.I enjoyed them as an adult as much as I did when I was a kid.The boxed set is something I will enjoy having in my library and reading again and again.They really are timeless stories.I wish they would make films of more of them.

5-0 out of 5 stars my comments
I enjoyed the books very much. They are a little different form my usual reading, R.A.Salvadore and Micheal Jordan. The books gave me a needed break. When I finished them I was happy to turn them over to my granddaughtter.
5-0 out of 5 stars Great series of books!!!!!! I love the story!!!!!
It certainly has become one of my favorites series of books, if notthe most. It really kept me entertained. I spent most of my work hours reading the books, and sometimes I hated been working because of the interrumptions. I read almost 10 chapters while working and kept me focused imagining everything that C.S. Lewis described as if I were watching a movie.

4-0 out of 5 stars good read
only disappointed with the books being numbered chronologically instead of by publish date.they are great books for adults and children the like.easy to read and follow - creative, imaginative and humorous.maybe too short a novel and too simple for adults but who isn't a child at heart?the rough pictures in the books are very descriptive and makes the books more interesting.

5-0 out of 5 stars Incredibly Entertaining and a great value
I love this set.The performers are superb, and are clearly having fun with the reading, the text is unabridged, and there is a complete lack of chessy effects or background sound track, with the exception of segway music at the beginning and end of each CD, which I personally find very a very nice prompt to switch CDs. Even the questionable nod to femminism by including Lynn Redgrave as a reader for "Prince Caspian" does not diminish the production or entertainment value one iota.They presented in a different order from the original book series publication, but that was no matter to me: I simply listen to them in the coreect sequence.I am perfectly content to hear how it all began later rather than sooner.

4-0 out of 5 stars What A Wonderful World It Is
The Chronicles of Narnia - the audios were really quite good.They are each done by different actors.Kenneth Branagh, who I know from Harry Potter's Chamber of Secrets, did well with the story telling of the first book "The Magician's Nephew".All the other actors were wonderful as well. But the best, to me, was Patrick Stewart, in "The Last Battle". What a performance.He caught my attention.So very dramatic, very passionate and funny!Overall, I enjoyed it.And to me, it's almost up there with Harry Potter's audio, and Lord of the Rings audio with Ian Holmes, playing the role of Frodo.If you want to buy it go for it!

3-0 out of 5 stars Paper qualtiy poor
The box set is great reading...but for the price...especially the list price of $70.00, I would have expected higher quality paper.The set is printed on pulp paper and will not last worth beans and the covers are thin and not robust.You may as well buy the cheapest set you can find, because the quality of the cheaper books is not any lower, the books are just a little smaller and the "bonus content is just the first chapter of the next book and some other tidbits of marginal interest
5-0 out of 5 stars Book or Movie what a ride
I've seen the movie and I've read the book.
5-0 out of 5 stars Wonderful! Excellent! Superb! (if you like fairy-tales then you may read this review, if not, don't go any further)
The Chronicles of Narnia are beautifully written books. They are some of my favorite books I've ever read. I would strongly reccomend them to everyone. I have read them all seven times, and I still can't decide which is my favorite! People who don't like them surprise me. Not only are they wonderful fairy-tales, they also have a lot of underlying Christian themes.

4-0 out of 5 stars English Class Review
The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis are great children's books. They are easy to read and interesting. In The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, it starts out with Lucy, Edmund, Susan, and Peter having to go live with their uncle because of the war and air raids from Germany. One day while playing hide and seek in the house, Lucy hides in a wardrobe and finds herself in another world; Narnia. She meets a fawn and becomes friends with him. He warns Lucy of the White Witch warning her of her power. When Lucy returns to her world, her siblings don't believe her but later on all hide in the wardrobe and walk into Narnia. Edmund betrays his siblings and sides with the White Witch, who makes it always winter, but never Christmas.They run around, following Mr. and Mrs. Beaver, trying to hide from the White Witch while trying to meet Aslan, the lion at the Stone Table. Aslan talks to Edmund and settles for him to never betray them again. The queen does not want the children to be in Narnia because of the prophecy that says that four people will take over Narnia and overthrow the queen. There is a battle over Narnia between the children and the Witch. The children win and become the rulers of Narnia.
5-0 out of 5 stars One of the best books i ever read!
For my book I read the Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. I thouhgt it was a very intersting book. In thr begning they moved to this professor house because of the war. He lived on the country side so it was safer there. Lucy the youngest one found a wardrobe. There was something unusual found in the back of the wardrobe. It was another world called Narnia. Lucy made some friends and so did her symbolings. One of there frinds got in trouble. Could the save him befor the white which turned hin into stone?
5-0 out of 5 stars What I thought of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
I thought this was a good book.It was full of adventure and excitement. It was easy to keep the Characters apart, instead of getting them mixed up. It was hard at first to get into but it turned out great. The symbolism was easy to understand and wonderful. It was easy reading and fun. C.S. Lewis is a good writer. I would probably read more of his books. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars The Magician's Nephew
Eduardo Zaranski
5-0 out of 5 stars A Bold Beginning
While "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe" was published first, it's "The Magician's Nephew" that truly starts off the Chronicles of Narnia.In this book, you'll learn about how Jadis first came to Narnia and what the Professor had to do with it.You'll learn about the lamppost, about why the wardrobe acts as a portal between worlds, and you'll get to watch the founding of C.S. Lewis's magical land.It's fun, engaging, and a great start to the series.

5-0 out of 5 stars A Fast Read
I rarely find a book that I don't want to put down. The Magician's Nephew was such a book. The story moves along quickly, and is written in an easy to read style that doesn't bog down your mind with details, but rather opens your mind and allows it to fill in the details.

5-0 out of 5 stars Best Version of the Brilliant Classic Out There!
I'm in my late 30's and I've read this in full for the first time recently and I have to say that this is one of the best books ever written.I can see why this is listed among the top 100 novels since the 1920s by Time Magazine.Unlike many books for children, Lewis never dumbs down or talks down to his intended audience which means even the adult can fully appreciate the genius of his great story-telling and allegory.
5-0 out of 5 stars Sardonic, Interesting and Profound Reading
This novel is written rather sardonically but is captivating enough to keep the reader enthralled. It is actually very enchanting. The reader may also want to do some technical research on many of the absurdities it describes and uses. Significantly the reader should never fail to remember that this is a work of fiction but skillfully written. Its allegorical storyline is profound just the same ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Mr. X
With The Chronicles of Narnia C.S. Lewis creates a magical winter wonderland that involves adventure and suspense. It is a story about four children that are sent to live with a professor who resides in a huge mansion. They discover a world that is always winter and never Christmas. The residents are tormented by a witch that can turn people into stone. Soon a lion named Aslan arrives and brings spring with him and the power to bring stoned people back to life. Ultimately, Aslan kills the witch and the four children become kings and queens of Narnia. It is a quick, effortless read that is entertaining. Once you start you will not want to put the book down. It is an easy recommendation for anyone. I highly recommend giving the book a chance and picking up a copy of it, especially for kids.
4-0 out of 5 stars Kid Friendly
The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis was a great children's book. The adventures of Lucy, Edmond, Susan and Peter started when they had to move to their grandfather's house due to a war going in London. As they were playing a game of hide and seek they stumbled upon the magical world of Narnia. There they joined forces with the great leader Aslan and together overthrew the evil white witch. I have read this book as a younger kid and just now and there was a big difference in the way I read it. As a kid it was a lot more magical and I couldn't put it down I just had to read it. Now it might be the fact that this is the second time I have read this but it wasn't as good this time around. I had more wonder in my eyes I guess as a kid. I would recommend this book to everyone but I do truly believe kids will enjoy this book more than adults.

5-0 out of 5 stars A novel perfect for all ages.
The popular children's book The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis, teaches biblical messages through a dramatic and intriguing plot. It all begins in WWII when a mother sends her four children off to the country to live with a professor for safety. The children were very curious and often spent hours playing hide and go seek, which lead to them discovering many new rooms and parts of the mansion. One day the youngest girl, Lucy, hid in a coat wardrobe. She walked to the very back of the closet where she revealed a new land. It was snowing and right away she discovered an odd creature. Lucy eventually went back through the wardrobe and tried to explain her discoveries to her brothers and sisters but none of them believed her. Finally Lucy was given the opportunity to prove her tale and her siblings peter, Edmund and Susan followed. Once they all entered the land they were told by a creature named Tumnus that the queen would want to kill them if she ever found them. This is because they were human and threatened her power. The rest of the novel is a biblical parallel to basics tenants of Christianity. The good and evil were always at war and at one point the Lion was slain. He rose from the dead and was able to overthrow evil. This is directly related to what the bible teaches. I believe this a great story. At a young age it has a fascinating plot with magical creatures and a powerful ending. At a more mature age is has vast symbolism that still allows for an easy read, without lacking in complexity. I think the characters in the new land are remotely bizarre but I enjoyed that if left me wondering about their personality because it lacks the usual stereotypes that are often placed on everyday characters. I couldn't tell whether the character was sympathetic or an antagonistic until I kept reading. Overall I highly suggest reading this book. When the final page is read it will leave you thinking. It's a quick read with deep meaning. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars The Magician's Nephew
I loved the book The Magician's Nephew. I loved the book because it was hard to put down. In class I would never want to stop reading. The book was sort of like a mystery. You would suspect one thing and the total opposite would happen. The last 2-3 chapters are the best. If you are looking for an easy read then you will love this book. The book is hard to follow in parts and you really need to think about what is happening.

Prince Caspian is a wonderful book. Full of excitement and you wil not want to put this book down for a long time.
3-0 out of 5 stars My English homework
In the book Prince Caspian it starts out with the four Pevensies (The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe) are magically pulled back to Narnia to help the Prince.This book I can not honestly was the best that I have read out of the series mainly because it does not offer as much backround details as the others, but also because it is a pretty slow moving story which causes you to get bored.Even so though I would have to say that it was still a very good book.One main thing that I would recommend is to read this whole series in their ORIGINAL order because I believe that C.S. Lewis designed them like that to add the suspense and wonder to your reading. Although this book I would have to say is not the best out of the series I would defiantly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good book.

5-0 out of 5 stars Easily The Best
Against the usual tradition of favoring "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe", "Prince Caspian" is my favorite of the Narnia series. The story opens with Lucy, Edmund, Peter and Susan, the old kings and queens of Narnia, now only children off to school. But before they can catch the bus, Narnia decides that it has need of them and brings them back to the land.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great decent family time fun
After getting hooked to a radio book I heard almost 3 years ago I decided to look for other Christian based audio book stories that I could enjoy with my son.I bought this for him and we have heard several so far.The stories are played out in a very real and tangible way.We have sat in bed with our eyes closed and it feels like you're in a theater.Of course it helps if you have surround sound but sounds just as good if not.Great for long trips in the car or to just play on a rainy day at home snuggled under the covers.This type of story telling awakens the imagination of children in a way that TV will never!!!!!

4-0 out of 5 stars Very entertaining
Listening to the book in full theater format was very interesting and enjoyable.
4-0 out of 5 stars Narnia Radio Theatre - almost perfect
I do NOT enjoy audio books - I generally find them long and boring and would much rather use my own imagination than some actor's choice of cadence and emphasis.On the other hand, I loved (mostly) the BBC radio productions of "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" which have become long road trip standards for our family.I have never found a comparable production until I discovered the The Chronicles of Narnia.The voices of the actors were VERY well done(with one exception) and the background sound effects and music were excellent and I found the connective narrative enough without being too much.On the other hand, I have read of the Narnia books so I may be unconsciously bridging gaps. Still, my husband, my son and my grandchildren have only read/seen "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" before hearing this set and had no problem with the other books, so the narrative is probably sufficient.I have two issues with the series which is why I awarded only 4 stars:

I actually really wanted this set because the covers were so much better than the english versions, and I was unhappy that the cover was different and has a huge circle on it saying "now a major motion film!"

4-0 out of 5 stars hilarious!
this book is written in the form of varies letters written from a evil demon who is advising his nephew on how to be a better and more effectively evil demon,as the nephew is lacking in that department.its very entertaning i think.its done in a playful and interesting way or maybe its just me.read it and see.its not satanic or anything just philosophical satire from my point of view.a good read!

5-0 out of 5 stars A must-read classic of the 20th century.
C.S. Lewis is clearly one of the masters of 20th century prose. His theological ideas are very succulent in their purpose and while I may not agree with every doctrinal belief of his, the essence of his message is a very pure one - fulfilment comes only from submitting your will to the Father, through loyal service, dedication, and love (which He very happily returns to you in limitless abounds).
5-0 out of 5 stars Fiendishly funny or frightfully real?
Oh my, what a book this is. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this book. And yet, at the very least, I now have a better feel for what probably is some evil "goings-ons" in my own life. Evil that is so invisible and subtle that I hardly know it's there. Until it's too late. It seems like no matter what we humans may try to do, satan (what I used to call "the force of evil") always seems to have a trick up his sleeve to throw us off kilter and keep us from cutivating our hearts and souls to become better people. This book is truly C.S. Lewis "unplugged" and full throttle. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars too much diary
my dad read this to my brother and me.I liked the book, but not as much as the first three because there were too many pages filled with Eustace's diary talking about his boring time on the poop deck.I liked the dragon part, but the dufflepuds and their big foot were my favorite
5-0 out of 5 stars "Thrilling"
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a stand out among the books in Lewis' excellent series.There are several elements in this book that distinguish it from the books that chronologically precede it.Old characters are put away and new characters (some humans, no less) emerge in importance, there is an absence of a monolithic evil antagonist, and no part of this story actually occurs in "Narnia."Lewis demonstrates a mastery for tension and suspense in this book that is not so apparent in the others, and when reading this one I noticed more moments when my kids' eyes were wide-open with anticipation (e.g., what will happen to Lucy at the end of that strange hallway, what are those threatening invisible thumpers, and will the Dawn Treader ever sail out of the nightmarish blackness?).At bottom, this is a classic and well-done journey story, in which pilgrims put their lives in a fragile boat and sail into the unknown, first to rescue seven loyal heroes and, eventually, to find the Thing greater than them all (that's Jesus, for the honest reader).Aslan makes his many usual appearances, with a strengthening of the concept that he is always present and always in control, no matter whether our human characters know it or take comfort in the knowledge.I don't think it's a spoiler to say that the reader gets to see the Lion revealed as the Lamb in a candid moment.If you tried The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and you are considering trying one more Narnia volume - try this one.

5-0 out of 5 stars "Why Should We Not Come to the Very Eastern End of the World?"
The third book in the Chronicles of Narnia (or the fifth if you're reading them in chronological order), is a rather unusual book within the context of the series, considering the good-against-evil theme that permeates the other six books in the series is largely absent here. Of course there are dangers and trials, as well as personal conflict that need to be resolved, but because there is no central villain nor any fundamental evil that needs to be defeated, "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" is more thoughtful, more carefully paced, more obviously spiritual and more episodic than any of the other books.

5-0 out of 5 stars Not just for kids!
I first read the books as an adult and loved every minute of it. I've read the whole set 5 or 6 times. I just finished reading them to my 8 year old son, who loved them as well. This particular boxed set is my favorite because they are numbered in the order in which Lewis wrote them. After 1994, a different publisher took over and started publishing them in chronological order. There's a big difference! I think it flows much better and is more fun to read the way he wrote them. Plus you fall in love with Aslan if you read "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" first.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Pre-Teen Gift
Anyone Ages 8 to 80 will enjoy this series even though the books are technically classified as children's literature.This series is fantasy at its finest and combines intriguing stories, compassionate characters and rich, multi-level symbolism guaranteed to stimulate the mind.
5-0 out of 5 stars The Chronicles of Narnia - A Classic for Young and Old
The Chronicles of Narnia is probably one of the best written and most charming multi-volume fantasies written in the 20th century, and it has become a classic, attracting a near-cult following comparable to fans of Star Trek, the Lord of the Rings and J. K. Rowlings' Harry Potter books.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Horse and His Boy
This book is a very good book.I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes books that make you think and wonder,"What's going to happen next?"
3-0 out of 5 stars Good, but not enough actual Narnia
The horse and his boy is a good book, so instead of saying it is the worst in the series, I will say that it is the 7th best.
