Review CS Lewis! you are kidding! He is not reviewed. He is just read and read and read and then re-read. and then read some more.:)

Good

It is a good end to the chronicles of Narnia. If you like the series u can read this one definitely. However all said do not think it is as interesting as the magician's nephew or the lion, witch and the wardrobe.A good book to introduce to your 8/9 yr old kid with few illustrations here and there breaking the monotony of words, Language is very simple and easy to read though some words are difficult at their level.

Book lover

I have already written in brief the whole story, who are u fooling ? Yourself? your courier man is pathetic, your telecallers and worse who do not help and then you ask for reviews?

So I have finished the whole series, it was a very light reading and I enjoyed it. This book was just like any other book of the series. It started with a conspiracy in Narnia and then 2 kids were summoned from England to join the good side. The end this time was different as it was the end of the series as well. It was neither great nor bad but surely it was a definite end. I like few parts of it but one thing that I dislike the most was absence of Susan.I more or less enjoyed the whole series except one or two parts. I'll probably not read it again though, except may be the 1st book. This series is definitely worth your time, specially if you are a fan of old classics.

Hated this. Ruined my childhood days of fond memories of Narnia. This is my third time through the Chronicles of Narnia. After finishing the final installment, I have come to the realization that I will probably never read them again. Why? Because they're not that good.Lewis has an odd style. Speaking as the narrator he attempts to describe really good or bad feelings, tastes, smells and such. Now, if these sensations are beyond description, he's sure to let the reader know that should they one day visit Narnia, they should definitely check this out. As if he's writing a Rick Steve's travel book for Narnia, Western Wildlands, Calormene, Archenland and the general vicinity.Then he describes a certain noise as being like "cats making love." Unexcusable. Then, in "The Final Battle," he totally wusses out. Once the final battle is had all the kings and queens end up in some netherworld and Aslan (or God, or Jesus, or both)destroys the world only to recreate it as it was, only real. And it's poorly explained as well. Hell, even the characters are confused. Plus, he kills everyone off. Granted, they get to live forever in "heaven" or Narnia, but nonetheless. Way to beat around the bush and then tersely explain it ... "There was a real railway accident." Wouldn't the dead children be mortified and shocked? Wouldn't there be some fantastical reaction to this. Hell, even Reepicheep makes an appearance. Everything's so hokey and sentimental and gutless. Considering his allegory, religion and life isn't any of those things, or it shouldn't be
