Narnia...the land between the lamp-post and the castle of Cair Paravel, where the animals talk, where magical things happen...and where the adventure begins.
Peter, Susuan, Edmund, and Lucy are returning to boarding school when they are summoned from the dreary train station (by Susan's own magic horn) to return to the land of Narnia- the land where they had ruled as kings and queens and where their help is desperately needed.
Enter this enchanted world countless times in The Chronicles of Narnia.

I am about a third through the book and it's good. I haven't read the ones before this one. I may have read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe but I forgot.
ReplyDeleteThe book is interesting and it isn't really confusing (I thought it would be because I haven't read the others). The characters personalities aren't described much, but that's ok.
I like the style of the book, I like the story, I like the names of the places because they are...different and I like the description given.
What do you dislike about the book? How does the author make it so that the 4th book in the series of 7 is not confusing? What about the style of the book do you like - the writing, word choice, sentence structure, etc?
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I dislike right now is the words that were used. They are kind of old and hard to understand. The reason the order (kind of...not sure how else to explain it) makes sense is because little bits and pieces of the other books are put into the story (or at least it seems like it). For an example, the author will say something and in parenthesis the author might put a little bit from a different book, or reference it in some way. The writing is fine, the sentence structure is nice the word choice is blah.
DeleteThe books were written in the 1950s, and the author was British. Do you feel that may be part of why the word choice is different? Perhaps you may want to find another book written from the same period and location, just to see if the word choices are similar, or perhaps it's just the authors style? How does the book make you feel when you read it - inspired, sad, creative, thoughtful?
DeleteWhat is the most interesting part of the book? If so, then why do you think that?
ReplyDeleteThe most interesting part so far is the dwarf telling about Prince Caspian. I like it because it's a story inside a story and I don't normally read that.
DeleteC.S Lewis and J.R.R Tolkien were said to have been great friends, and to have shared much of their work with each other. If you've read the hobbit or any of Tolkien's work, is there anything similar about the writing, the character development, or the story?
ReplyDeleteNo, I haven't read any of the Tolkien's stuff. I did watch Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit...if that counts. I don't really remember anything in the movies either...

ReplyDeleteI've read more of the book and it is still good. I think that I will read/like most books as long as it doesn't involve the stuff that cops do. My favorite character right now is Aslan even though he just got back in the book and has only been around for a couple pages. I remember bits and pieces of him from The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe which is why I am actually really glad I get to see him again.
ReplyDeleteMy least favorite character would be Peter (The High King, I thought it was). He seems kind of bossy and annoying... He is nice to Lucy at times.
Is the book easy to settle into an become immersed in? Or does it take you a little while to get inside the story?
DeleteWhat do you mean "as long as it doesn't involve the stuff that cops do"? Who are the "cops" that you're referring to? What is it in particular that they do that you don't care for?
I think many of us share Aslan as one of our favorite characters, but why do you? Is it is awesome, divine appearance, or is it that he can fly? Or is more his presence or what he stands for more appealing to you?
DeleteThe story is fairly easy to start liking.
DeleteWith other mysteries I have read, there have been police that solve the mystery. I don't like it when police try and solve mysteries because the files and the way the book is set up. I can never keep track with who is who and I am having that problem with this book.
I like Aslan because of the way he looks. I also enjoy the way he enters the book and how calm he is.
DeleteIts a great book. How do you like the talking animals.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind it. I would prefer they didn't because I get confused with all the animals when they talk.
DeleteI finally finished this book and I would read it again because of the story. The ending was too happy for me. I didn't want it to end. :c
ReplyDeleteWould you reccommed this book more to children or adults? why?
ReplyDeleteHow was the ending too happy? Was everything right with the world where you wanted turmoil? Why didn't you want the book to end?
