This book is fabulous. What I found is, to make it a better read, constantly compare Aslan to Jesus. It makes the story really come to life.

I thought it was great. Im about to get the next three. I can not wait till I get them. Get this book and the other six.

This is one of my favorite books! I absolutely love it!!!! I think everyone--kids and adults--should read this book! Sure beats Harry Potter!!!

This book is my favorite book in the world apart from the Bible!!! C.S. Lewis is my favorite author, and this is the best fantasy book ever created! (Enough said)

This is a fabulous book. It is such a lovely tale for Christians. Aslan, the great Lion is killed unjustly, Like Jesus, but returns triumphantly. It is amazing! It is no surprise it is so popular. I recommend this-HIGHLY! Please buy it. Also consider the Focus On The Family audio adaptation of it-it make sit come a live and make sit all the more meaningful. Super-Brilliant.
