Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: I realize it's the inside that counts, but... Comment: The content of these books is wonderful, as always with C.S. Lewis' works. Upon receipt of the product I was disappointed to find that 5 of the books in the set have "Now a Major Motion Picture" printed inside a bold yellow circle on the front cover. This was not shown on any of the product images that I saw before I made my purchase, so it was an unexpected and unpleasant surprise when I opened the box. Customer Rating: Summary: The Adventure Wtih Jesus Comment: The Chronicles of Narnia are a great way of helping children begin to understand a relationship, adventure, life and characteristics of Jesus Christ. They were written by a Christian man who knew Jesus personally and who was able to express Jesus' personality in a way children could grasp. I love the imagination he uses and the character of Aslan. I love most of all the forgiveness Edmund receives and how Aslan sacrificed himself for Edmund. A great picture of our spiritual need as a human race as a whole; our greatest need is forgiveness. Customer Rating: Summary: Interesting books Comment: I am learning more about Narnia besides The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrove. I already read the first book, and I am part way into the third book. I already read LWW and know what happened in that book, so I skipped it. I wanted to know the whole story of Narnia, as well as have another book series in my collection. Customer Rating: Summary: More wonderful than I expected! Comment: Once I started reading the first of the seven books, I COULD NOT stop reading! As I finished each book, I couldn't wait to get to the next one. There's something spellbinding about C.S. Lewis's work, and I firmly believe that it's because it was God-inspired. I've never been one who enjoyed reading books about centaurs, fauns, and other mythological creatures; but this amazing Christian allegory kept my attention from start to finish! The only thing I regret about reading this series is that I waited until I retired from a career as a public school teacher to read it! It makes me sad to think of the vast number of students that I could have encouraged to read it. This, in my opinion, is a must-read for anyone who sees God as a judgmental, harsh, punishing Being. I believe that reading these seven books in the allegorical sense will help that person gain a greater understanding of the all-encompassing love that God shows for his children through Jesus Christ. May Aslan and all of the other allegorical characters continue to instruct, entertain, and inspire readers of all ages for many decades to come! Customer Rating: Summary: Beautiful, practical, perfect Comment: Buying the 7 books in peaces but all together in a box is certainly the best option. There're like pocket books and you can carry the one you're reading always with you. Plus, the printing and the finishing are really beautiful. No mention the story itself, wich takes you to a hole new and pure place, if you enjoy stories like these (like the movies? you'll like the books even better. like harry potter? I bet you'll like this too). Amazon shipping was again perfect and cheap. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: The Chronicles of Narnia, by C.S. Lewis, is one of the very few sets of books that should be read three times: in childhood, early adulthood, and late in life. In brief, four children travel repeatedly to a world in which they are far more than mere children and everything is far more than it seems. Richly told, populated with fascinating characters, perfectly realized in detail of world and pacing of plot, and profoundly allegorical, the story is infused throughout with the timeless issues of good and evil, faith and hope. This boxed set edition includes all seven volumes.
