This book has been really fun to read! I cant believe how similar it is to the movie. I saw the movie when it first came out, then bought it on DVD. Even right down to the same lines. I could picture all the characters in the book from the movie. On the other hand, sometimes I wish I read the book before the movie. I think I would enjoy the book more if I hadn't already seen the movie. That way your imagination can take over instead of scenes from the movie, but I am still enjoying it.
I would like to find out more about the author and his motivations for the book. There was a lot of controversies about Christians trying to make the book something it was not. They thought that it was the story of Christ, Asland being a Jesus like figure who died for his people in order to save them, and then rose again. I see the connection plain and clear and it was hard to hear people saying that Christians were just trying to make up the connection. Afterall, isn't C.S. Lewis a Christian writer? I thought the book was a fun and new way to bring to life through new characters the story of Christ, but that is just my take of the plot. Many people would probably disagree if they were not religious or just did not agree that a lion could represent Christ.
I've just enjoyed the way the book was put together and that I could relate it to Christianity and see a Christ like figure through the lion. I still would like to discuss more in class what others think of this issue and whether or not they agree or disagree, or what their take is on the topic.

I just started the book called " The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrob" and I agree with you. The movie and the book are very similar. This is mi first time reading this book and I really liked. I think the book has more details than the movie. I can say that this is one of my favorites books. It has a lot of plots in the story. This is a kind of book you can not stop reading. I was hearing lot of contraversity before watching the movie. many people related the story with the resurrection of Jesus Christ. I don't think so. I asked my son who is 12 years old about this and he didn't didn't noticed though.
Mandy, I totally agree with you, the book is a blast to read. It’s one of those books that you just don’t want to put down because it’s so fun and you’re imagination just runs wild through its pages. However, unfortunately, I have never seen the movie, so I can’t really compare the two. From what you say however, you have captured my curiosity and now I want to see the movie, just to see how similar it is to the book.
I also thought the characters were interesting in this book. I also thought it was very interesting how you brought up the point about Christ and the lion trying to represent Christ. It would be pretty cool to actually know what the author was trying to do, but on the other hand, who cares? I mean I would like to know, but at the same time, I don’t care because it wouldn’t change my mind about how I felt about the book.
Overall, this was a really fun book to read. Personally, this is one of those books that I could see myself reading again down the road, because it was plain fun. Like I said, I really like how the author portrayed the characters and I felt that the book as a whole was very interesting and full of character.
