5 stars (The Complete Chronicles of Narnia) - What a way to lose oneself! I felt like a kid again while reading and completely got caught up in all of the adventure and excitement of Narnia. I look forward to sharing these stories with my kids when they get a little bit older. 4 stars (Excellent entertainment for all ages) - I purchased this set for my 10 yr old grandson and just had to read them first. Am so glad I did. The books kept me enthralled one after the other. I cannot wait for my grandson to read them now so that we can share the fun. These books stretch the imagination and they have under-lying morals and good attitudes as well. I highly recommend them to all. 5 stars (Complete Chronicles of Narnia) - Seven books by C.S. Lewis all in one book. Great for young readers and those who like to dream. ...

1 stars (Don't be so silly) - This book is silly. Fancy positing the idea that a lion rules the land. It's almost as silly as this book I read the other day about a man who does magic tricks and then people get suspicious of him so they kill him but then he comes back as a zombie, a nice zombie, he doesn't eat brains or anything and then he flies off home. The lion in this story has been compared to him I believe... 5 stars (Good clean fun!) - I enjoyed the stories again after 30 years between the first read. 4 stars (Fantasy for Children at it's best!) - I wanted to purchase the Chronicles not because of the upcoming film series (Come On, you know Disney will #$@? it up)...but to read to my child. Reading them again to him has shown me just how deceptively complex the stories are; and what is amazing is how moral and civil lessons, in true Christian sense, are taught and exemplified by the children's adventures: Most importantly is the ideal of forgiveness; which is the core of Christianity but which seems to have been forgotten, particularly by the right-wing lunatics who I am appalled by hearing themselves called Christians...children of Mammon, perhaps, but Christians? Riiiight. Anyway, this edition is wonderful, I gave it four out of five stars for one flaw, which is the type-setting. It seems alot of the page-breaks were left in, resulting in one sentence being cut almost half a page early, and continued below it, as well as a few words which are still hyphenated but shouldn't be as they are in the midst of a line, and not the end of the margins. Nonetheless, the binding is great, sturdy and heavy, which has not been the case with all my hard-bound books of late. This is definately a volume I would recommend, and excellent to keep for the grandchildren and so forth, on your best shelf. It is nice that it contains all of the original art, and the stories are placed in the order the author intended. Fantastic. ...
