C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia

For Christmas I got 3 DVD's,personal stuff,and a house key. 2 of those DVD's were Chronicles of Narnia namely The Lion,the Witch,and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian. Those 2 movies were based off of the books by C.S. Lewis who wrote 7 books in the series. Iwatched both of them on Christmas and how appropraite considering C.S. Lewis is a Christian,you can tell by all the symbolism used in his books,the Narnia septiliogy being no exception. C.S> Lewis wrote his books in a biblical manner to because though it makes sense how it's put it doesn't work chronologically

Alright,to the point

Chronicles of Narnia(C.S. Lewis)


Year(s):(1946-1956)
Publisher:HarperTrophy

Plot:12/20 (From what I can remember I liked the most of the plots,I don't remember liking The Last Battle,The Silver Chair,or Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Book 1 was loosely symbolic of The Crucifixition,Book 2 is symbolic of both Moses and the Israelites and the restoration of a religion[And since C.S. Lewis wasn't Mormon he was probably referring to the Protestant Reformation] All I remember from 3 was only Lucy and Edmund returned then they brought along a jerk of cousin and they went on voyage. For 4 they had to rescue Caspian's son from an evil witch[not the White Witch].Book 5 was a midquel to Book 1 which I like to think is like a slave who didn't belong wanted to escape to the North to be free[Narnia].Book 6 is like Genesis in the Bible. Book 7 was like Revelation[I liked Revelattion but this really,it sucked; Lewis killed all Narnia travelers except Susan literally and mortally wounded her spiritually]Though I'd give Books 1,2,5,and 6 perfect scores,the others sucked so bad that I can't honestly give the total more than 12)

Characters:12/20 (I liked all the Pevensies,except Susan she was a smart-alec,girly,goody-goody tu shus, and eventually too selfish,Eustace was a jerk,Jill seemed kind of 1D, aI liked Digory and Polly,Shasta was cool, Aravis was the perfect tomboy. Since Eustace,Susan,and Jill were terrible and Peter seemed like a smarty,bossy-pants at times,the score goes to 12,Aslan was the perfect Christ-like figure,and Jadis as Satan)

Settings: 20/20 (I lovecd the settings whether it be Telmar,Narnia,Calormen,the world of Charn was well done,but I wish Narnia lasted longer,why did Aslan destroy his own creation????)

Writing: 20/20(Easily some of the best literature out there,and easily classed in same category as Moby Dick or Jack London)

Final:16/20
