Excellent presentation can't cover the fact that these are children's books. Just be aware that they are not the movies; they are very brief stories and I found, as an adult, hard to listen to back to back. But the readers are amazing and the stories charming.
I don't know exactly what I expected, but this wasn't it. I did enjoy the books, don't get me wrong, but they didn't keep my attention the way I thought they would. It was easy to "put it down" and listen to the radio for a while. Normally on my morning commutes I can't wait to turn on the book I'm listening to and forget about everything else (except traffic of course). I don't think I'll read the next set of the series right now...maybe when I've read a lot of things on my list I'll come back to it.
My wife and I listen to these books while driving. This set of cd's was our favorite. The story was moving and interesting with many surprises and a happy ending. Lewis is a good story teller.
good book,we enjoyed it as a family and it held our interest
It has taken me awhile to get through these, but I have to say they were quite enjoyable. They kept my interest and are great for kids. I had always wanted to read them as a kid and never got around to it.
CS Lewis is a genius. Read this alone or with your kids, it's very well written and engrossing.
I can't believe I didn't read these books as a youth. The first book is fantastic. The reader is great. The writing is right on. I actually laughed out loud in the way the writer humorously described situations. I can't wait for the next volume.
In my top five favorite books of all time! I found it charming and witty, though written for a child it was refreshing and wonderful for me and I've recommended it to my whole family. I intend to buy it so my little ones can enjoy it together. Free of language and "adult" content it was insiprational and gave me the energy I needed to get through a very stressful period. I found the religious parallels so well written that in one part of the story I thought to myself this is hope I hope it all ends and we find ourselves for eternity. The characters were so delightful - Reepycheep the mouse was more valiant than any other character I've ever read about - and who wouldn't love Puddleglum? I only wish I had read it years ago!
Great background to the Lion, Witch & Wardrobe. I'm moving on to the next set.
I true classic. This book was an absolute pleasure to listen to. Kenneth Branaugh was an excellent narrator.
