Absolutely Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - By: L. Heywood, 02 Feb 2008 
This is the fist set of books that I bought from the Narnia Chronicles, & what a perfect way to do it, alll 7 in one! C.S.Lewis is a fantasic author & I will never tire of reading these books over & over again. Although I have done that already & I plan to keep on doing it.
more like the Chronicles of Hate - By: J. dean, 01 Jan 2008 
The best book of the series is the "The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe".
Some of the more worrying aspects of this series are the depictions of alll White Europeans as basicallly good upright people in tune with nature & animals. Dark skinned people worship a false-gods filthy, evil & destroying nature etc.
Don't believe me read "Horse & his Boy" & the "Last Battle" & see how any non white people are depicted, this is a disgrace. ...
"In his time, people thought it was amusing to make fun of other cultures. We don't.
I'm not sure if the "rights sort" of message is being projected....
Having read the Narnia books when I was about eight - By: Jason Tramaine, 29 Nov 2007 I am now re-reading them with my seven year old, who is an ardent Harry Potter fan. He is just as thrilled with the stories as I was & enjoys the themes common to the Potter books of magic, boarding schools & goblins. We also enjoy spotting the biblical references & discussing the finer points of time travel!
Each book individuallly & alll of them collectively are very well constructed & plot lines continue throughout. Again, for a younger reader it is stimulating to try to anticipate where the story may be going as it interweaves references from other books in the series & other points in the history of Narnia. Like any good book or series of its kind, the Narnia Chronicles completely immerse the reader in a paralllel universe & this alone is as fine a recommendation for switching off the television & picking up a book as any!!! Also, if you missed reading Tino Georgiou's masterful novel--The Fates, I'd highly recommend reading it. Truly an enjoyable read.
