Review:


Most of what I want to say I already said in my review of The Magician's Nephew.  All I'll say in this review is that I really enjoyed reading this after only getting through part of it years before.  I've seen the movie (and the cartoon) many, many times, so I was kind of comparing the book and movie in my mind as I read.  I was pretty much picturing everything from the movie in my head.  It's funny how the movie seems to have stuck so close to the book, but the movie definitely seemed more epic and dramatic, at least to me.


I'm reading The Horse and His Boy next, which will be interesting as I know almost nothing about that book.
