The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (The Chronicles of Narnia, #2) (Narnia)

by C. S. Lewis

A new edition of this famous and incredibly popular book. This is the best-loved of all the Chronicles of Narnia, the first one ever written, the one that everyone remembers reading.

On the other side of that wardrobe door lies a world full of magic. A world frozen in the perpetual winter of the White Witch's enchantment. A world where Christmas never comes. Would you have the courage to stand shoulder to shoulder with Aslan, the Great Lion, and fight the Witch to free the land of Narnia? Are you brave enough to share the adventures that change the lives of Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy forever?

While I understand that this series is a cult classic, and many people love it. It wasn't for me. I enjoy a good middle-grade read; I love entering into a new world and adapting magic into my life. What took away from this story for me was breaking the fourth wall. When a book speaks to the reader in such a way, it brings me out of the story, something that doesn't work when reading a fantasy novel.

I can understand how someone would fall in love with this book, how they could easily enjoy the series and love Narnia. I'm simply not one of those people, and I'm sorry to say that while the audiobook was well narrated, and the book itself was short, I won't be returning to Narnia again.
