My overall opinion: An amazing book. It had been several years since I read it, and coming back to it now was a whole new and delightful experience! I love the language, the words, that C. S. Lewis uses…his descriptions are amazing. I read it aloud to myself this time around, and therefore discovered that it is a very read-aloudable book! It’s a brilliant work that EVERY home should own. Of course, the parallels to the Bible are clear. If you haven’t read it for a couple of years…give it another try, okay? You won’t regret. I’ve now moved onto the book that was my favorite for years, Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and am likewise enjoying it. Great book!
