Review of 'The Chronicles of Narnia CD Box Set' on 'Storygraph'
Too bland, blunt and boring in its attempt to sneak a Passion of Christ retelling into a children's book.

Dizem que Aslam está a caminho. Talvez já tenha chegado, sussurrou o Castor. Edmundo experimentou uma misteriosa sensação de horror. Pedro sentiu-se valente e vigoroso. Para Suzana, foi como se uma música deliciosa tivesse enchido o ar. E Lúcia teve aquele mesmo sentimento que nos desperta a chegada do verão. Assim, no coração da terra encantada de Nárnia, as crianças lançaram-se na mais excitante e mágica aventura que alguém já escreveu.

I love these books.
There's something so comforting about a re-read, especially in the winter when you're all snuggled up and you have to look up, once again, what turkish delight is.
My favorites are the first (which is The Magician's Nephew and yes, I will die on that hill) and the last; there's something very lovely about seeing the start and end of the magical land that I always find so very charming. Reading them in order and watching time pass is interesting; I'm not sure I can think of another series that has such a clear chronology over such a long time period and yet contains the same characters?
I'm glad I jumped for the audiobook version for this re-read, too--the little musical riffs played between chapters were cute and the narration was excellent.
My mom read these to me, and I know that I'll be reading them to my son!
Adored these books as a child, but was annoyed by their heavy handed religious tone as an adult.
Una buena recopilación de todos los libros que tuve el placer de leer gracias a la edición de lujo que me regalaron mis amigos Jon, Adriano y Kike!!
