The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

6.5/10

This book is a bit too fast paced for me. I feel like I should have a better understanding/relationship to the characters than I have time to develop. Would love some more dialogue to flesh out the four kids.

Additionally, the Christianity doesn't do it for me. I have no problem referring to the children as sons/daughters of Adam/Eve. However, when Aslan sacrifices himself for Edmunds sins and is reborn, it just feel unoriginal. I can understand that C. S. Lewis wanted to tell that story to his daughter and added his own twist though.

As of now this book is not a re-read for me. I will have to finish the series to see if it gets better. However, I think this is a book I can read for my children (when I have some).

Side note: I feel like if you like The Hobbit better than LOTR, this might be for you.
