This movie, which is about 3 hours long, is based on one of C.S. Lewis' best fiction writings. This was his first of the 7 Narnia Chronicles. The other six came as a result of his success on this book, he had not planned to write any others. He draws heavily on Christian thoughts and values with Aslem (the Lion) being a type of Jesus (the Lion of Judea)even to the point of him sacrificing himself for a sinner. There is a lot of Christian symbology in this movie some obvious and some very hard to spot at first. The movie follows fairly close to the book but there are some differences. And even though there are some battle scenes (much more than in the book)it is well done and one should not be hesitant to allow children of all ages to watch it. We can all learn good Christian values from this movie while enjoying a great fantasy movie. And if you want to understand some of the deeper symbology there is a book out there with one hundred questions on Narnia. For instance the professor in the story had himself been to Narnia and the Wardrobe had been made from the wood of an apple tree the seed of which came from an apple from Narnia. Relax and enjoy a good movie.Read full review
The best feature of this particular book is that it is several books in one big volume. I am challenging my grandson to read a Christian based book as large as Harry Potter's books and this one was perfect. The soft cover seems to be just a little flimsy and I am concerned that it might not last the duration of my 9 year old reading it. Otherwise it is a greatly inspirational novel capturing the imagination of both young and old and I would recommend it to anyone who loves to read.
This is a great book for youth as well as adults.

C.S. Lewis is a terrific Christian author! These books have a lot of variety and great wholesome values. The price was incredibly affordable. Half.com is always better than Amazon or even a membership to Barnes and Noble. Thank you for this opportunity. Thank GOD that we live in AMERICA, with the freedoms we have to read the BIBLE and other wonderful literaries. GOD bless you!
I love this version of C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia because you get all 7 original books combined in one large volume. Not only is it well written, but i am fascinated by the content. This is an excellent read for anyone and is by all means NOT just a "childrens" book. Fabulous!
