I disagree, I enjoyed them all except The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
I own them all my other fav. series (other than HP)
It disappoints me that they are only remaking the same movies they made before.
The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, The Silver Chair, and The Final Battle.

I think it would be great if the did the Magicians Nephew. It really gives a great background into everything.


Arabella - I liked The Horse and His Boy a lot, one of my favorites actually.

I got stuck on The Horse and His Boy. No offense to anyone who may have thought that book was good, but I found it horribly boring to where I couldn't even finish it. I'm thinking of trying to read them again when my reading list gets a little bit shorter, though. :]

I've read them, but Narnia is one of the series that I like the movies better. You can really tell that the books are written for kids, which is kinda annoying. Classic, but annoying.

Yes it is for children. He wrote it as a Christian novel based for children. So they can learn about god and everything through a fiction fantasy.
If you prefer more adult writing, C.S.Lewis he does it as well. He is an amazing author.

oh hehehe... me and my friend, we used to "search for narnia"... when we went on a retreat in a place in the mountains, we tried to look for any place that could resemble narnia... and we found a cave... his girlfriend, who's my best friend, was sorta angry at us, coz she freaked out... she found the cave creepy.

The series is pretty good. I think that Prince Caspian has to be my favorite out of the series. All of the books are Fantastic though.

I've read them all, and I think they are pretty great books. I liked them a lot, and I plan on re-reading them all over the summer. Great books. Good work C.S. Lewis.

I cant stand it. I really really hate The Chronicles of Narnia. I was in the 5th grade reading A Wrinkle In Time when Narnia was forced on me. I never got over it and I have been trolling the kids section at work looking to start up a gang war.

Come on. I thought this thread was to support Narnia Chronicles. Not to brag about how much you hate it. Narnia was a brilliant piece of work that C.S. Lewis used much his time in. Its brilliant.

I'm going to start them in a few days, but which order should I read them in?

I have heard to start with Magicians Nephew but have alos heard to start with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe?

What order are you suppose to read them in?

there are two ways it can be ordered.

the order they were written in, which starts with the lion teh witch and the wardrobe
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1950)
Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia (1951)
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (1952)
The Silver Chair (1953)
The Horse and His Boy (1954)
The Magician’s Nephew (1955)
The Last Battle (1956)


or the order they take place, which starts with the magician's nephew.

The Magician's Nephew
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
The Horse and His Boy
Prince Caspian
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
The Silver Chair
The Last Battle

either way should see you through fine
