gigaball Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I'm in the process of reading the Narnia series for the first time. I have the complete series in one book, in which the stories are listed in chronological order. I decided to read them in order of publication, though, so I've been jumping around the book somewhat. I only have The Last Battle to go. I'm very envious of you, getting to read them for the first time. How have you found them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I've really enjoyed them all, Gigaball. I'd probably pick The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe as my favourite because, as you said, it's the perfect introduction to Narnia.

Cláudia Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 From what I read, I liked more "The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe", because maybe it was my first and I was enchanted for the film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshwilkinson Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Haven't read them all, yet but really like the Lion, Witch and Wardrobe. Saw in on tv at Xmas and loved it, but reading it is better. Maybe I like it cos of the tv film but will update the poll if I like another book more.

Kylie Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Kylie, I am also about to start them. I have more time on my hands than is good for me so I'm pulling out the whole unopened set. Happy reading Travis! I finished the series at the end of December. A really enjoyable series, but I'll be looking to buy the books individually so I don't have to lug one huge volume around next time.

Punkafoo Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I've only read The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, and never read the others so I can't compare them and say which ones I like, but what I liked about The Lion, The Witch and The wardrobe was the whole fantasy world, through the wardrobe, just like the way another world is at the end of the wardrobe, could be any world and it still would have captured me. But to be honest I can not remember much about it as it was ages ago since I've read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HavenKarma Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I voted for The Last Battle here. I liked the story and I understand the reasoning behind most of the "How the series starts" discussion, but what I enjoy most about any book is a (Should I use a spoiler here?...) definitive ending. The Last Battle truly wrapped the series up and for me there were no unanswered questions left after the last page of the book. Which is something I can say does not tend to happen with a lot of things I have read. I enjoyed the series overall and would recommend it to anyone with an open mind to a story that may have a hint (cough, cough) of religious influence.

bree Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 The Horse and His Boy for me (which is also where I picked up my username - 'bree' from) To start with I loved the title - quite a reversal of what would be usual - and keeping with the Narnia theme of animals being on par, if not higher, than humans. I loved the journey of the children and the horses - their personalities, the tests they faced, and how they grew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deborah Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I had to go with The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, my absolute favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
