Have you read this book?
What is it about?
Would you use it in a classroom? If so, how?
What age range do you think this fantasy book is suitable for?
If you were to critique this book, what kind of evaluation would you give it?
I have to write a book log on this book, and I dont have time to read the whole book. I thought I could skim it, if I got enough information from others who have read the book.
~Thanks~

I read this book when I was a kid. Loved it! One of my favorites. I was probably 6 or 7 years old when I read it. I can't remember though if it was for school or just for fun. I have to ask....do you not have enough time to read the book because you procrastinated? or a true lack of time? It's a great book and has been made into a movie. If you have a couple of hours and access to a video store go and rent "The Chronicles of Narnia: The lion, the witch and the wardrobe". Here's a link for the film at imdb:

My works and school schedule got overloaded, and I hose to pay my bills over doing homework. Either way, finals are next week, and I need to get this done. Also, thanks for the video link, but I need factual book information. I have never watched a movie that was based off of a book that was 100% true to the text.
Thanks anyways

My third grade teacher spent our "good time" reading us the entire series...of course I attended a Christian school at that time, but still I remember that time fondly. So it has been used in at least one classroom. Why not rent the movie?

I read this Book many yrs. ago, and Glad to see when they also started doing movies from these series of books as well. I actually have thought about re-reading that book many times. All I can say is that you can never go wrong reading these Books, and that is some great interesting reading for sure.

Read the book. It is quite good. It is suitable for younger teenagers from about eight to fourteen. I did read it as my sons had to do a book report on it and also I saw the movie. (Have not seen Prince Caspian yet but hope to do so.) It is about these English children who were evacuated from their homes in World War II who go to live in the country and while in the house of their grandfather, they discover a closet or warddrobe and when they go to the end, they find themselves in a strange new world with Lions who talk, elves, fantastic creatures. But that is as far as I am telling you. Read the book or if you cannot, rent the Dvd.

I didn't read the book but I saw the movie. It's about discovery of power, realizing ones place in the scheme of things, sacrifice & forgiveness. Its' also about friendship and doing what one thinks best for ones people. It also upholds the belief that good will always triumph.

I read this book like three years ago... and that was after i watched the movie version... i like the movie so i was quite curious is the book was any better... but before reading it... i made sure i read the firt of the series... and i am glad i did because that certainly removed a lot of confusions and question that would have arise if i went on reading the The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe first...
