LWW is the only book i've read. I read that when I was about 11 or 12. I'll always see LWW as the first book. Unfornintly my local libary doesn't carry the rest of the series. It's off to Hastings or B & N for me to pick up the whole series. I'm planning on buying the MIB... CD. love the music.

Okay, you know the Narnia movie that just came out? They made a novelization of it! So... much... rage...
 There's already a book about this! Gah! Don't dumb down one of my favourite children's books of all time!Then again, the only reason I've read Oliver Twist and Les Misérables is because there's abridged versions of them. However, Narnia isn't exactly Victor Hugo; I find all the Narnia Chronicles highly accessible.

There is no text which Hollywood cannot attempt to "improve" upon for merchandising, Nurv.

I'm not 100% sure about the Aslan Plushie. It may just be a figment of my paranoia that marketing will be huge with The Chronicles of Narnia just like it was with Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter.

A question for all you.
Are you equally fond of all seven books or do you have a particular favourite among them? Last edited by Grey_Wolf : 11-28-2005 at 06:08 PM. |

the magician's nephew is actually one of my favorite's... kind of like the silmarillion of the series... but they are all pretty good, and short enough to almost be one book

yeah, i've seen an edition that puts them all in one volume kind of like they did with LOTR. i think they have it in chronological order too so TMN would be the first one.

For me The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and The Silver Chair are sort-of favourites, but I think I like all of the books equally except The Horse and his Boy. That one's just too unlike the rest, and the characters get on my nerves.

Here, Acalewia, is the correct reading order:
CHON-1: THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW CHON-2: THE LION, THE WITCH & THE WARDR. CHON-3: THE HORSE AND HIS BOY CHON-4: PRINCE CASPIAN CHON-5: THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWNTREADER CHON-6: THE SILVER CHAIR CHON-7: THE LAST BATTLE Cheerio, GW |

1: THE LION, THE WITCH & THE WARDROBE 2: PRINCE CASPIAN 3: THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER 4: THE SILVER CHAIR 5: THE HORSE AND HIS BOY 6: THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW 7: THE LAST BATTLE I think kids will be drawn in more if they follow Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy's journey, then find out the backstory, and finally get the resolution for all the characters. Plus, if you already know the history of Professor Kirke and Jadis, it takes some of the mystery away from the experience of reading LWW. I also agree that the 'novelisations' and silly little 'chapter' books are ridiculous. My 15-year-old sister has Down's Syndrome (she reads on the level of an 8-year-old or lower), and she's read all the original Narnia books and understood them perfectly! |
