Sdm 13,010 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I used to read them a lot in school but I don't remember the story very well now. I do remember enjoying most of them except for the last battle which was a clusterfuck, still not sure what exacty happened in the end. I think my favorite ones were the lion, the witch and the wardrobe; the silver chair and the magician's nephew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Hamster Named Loneliness 3,680 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I haven't read The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe since 5th grade when I had to read it for school and I literally don't remember anything about the book. All I remember is the children enter Narnia through a wardrobe and that's it. I never read any of the other Chronicles of Narnia books, either.

Daria~ 13,886 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Never watched the movies. The first book I read was the lion the witch and the wardrobe and I didn’t get that the whole thing was one big metaphor for Christianity until I got the whole book set from book 1 to 7 and read them in order. It literally starts from creation of narnia by Aslan and ends with judgment day I love the stories and I still have the book set after all these years even though I’m an atheist.

dream thief 2,040 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I really liked the books and the first movie. The other two films were pretty bad and I'm not sure what to think about that they produce a fourth film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I picked up on the religious themes at all as a kid until I read about it on reddit. Maybe I should re read them again lol no wonder I didn't get The last battle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perspherspley 2,040 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Read them all years ago and even up to now I still considered the whole series as my favorite. Never regretted reading them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild & Young 193 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I only know the movies and even though I don´t watch them frequently, I enjoy the story very much. I also have the books here, but I never found the time to read them which is sad. But some day, I will read them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s most prominent in the first and last books and implied in a couple of the middle books like the voyage of the dawn treader. The whole story kind of mimics the Christian narrative about how god (aslan) used to be really close to mankind to the point where people could talk to him directly in the early books (like the Old Testament) but in the middle books some of the narnians didn’t even believe that aslan exists because everything had become a mess and there was no evidence that he was real (like in our current world) to the last book when judgement day happens. I think I picked up on it so early because I read them at a time when I was starting to think a lot about the point of Christianity and just religion in general.
