Customer Reviews:
Excellent Series.......2007-09-02
This is an imaginative and wonderful series. C.S. Lewis is really a creative author. I love it that they are Christian stories. Each one is different from the others and yet they are all great. I was so sorry to get to the last one. The readers for the series are also very good. It is very important that the reader be enthusiastic and talented. A good book can be ruined by a poor reader. I highly recommend this series for children and adults. It is a series that will be listened to over and over again. These are great in the car for long rides. ENJOY!
Superb Collection.......2007-08-07
I had only read two or three of the Narnia stories before picking up the audio CDs. I found that reading the stories to myself was somewhat less than captivating. The audio CDs, however, were quite the opposite. I have come to the conclusion that these stories were meant to be read out loud. This collection has a wonderful cast of narrators that present the stories perfectly.
Awesome Audio Book Set.......2007-01-18
I am so pleased with the book set on CD's. I don't care to read very often & since I am a home health nurse I'm in my car alot. Books on CD are very entertaining for us folks on the road. I'd recommend this set to everyone! I saw the movie before I got this set which is what perked my interest in Narnia. I'm 35y/o & I loved it! I'm finishing up the last book now. I'm sad that it's ending though it's kept me entertained for over a month. (I did have a little trouble following the directions to my patients houses because I was so into the stories, oops!).
Great Find.......2007-01-10
We really enjoyed the different readers for each of the seven stories. I'll never get used to people re-arranging them into chronological order, but that is easly fixed. The only real issue I have is Patrick Stewart reading "The Last Battle". I kept thinking that Aslan was going to beam them up. Otherwise, they are great fun and especially good for long car rides.
Great audiobooks!.......2006-11-21
My husband and I absolutely LOVE this set of The Chronicles of Narnia audiobooks. The stories are all read by actors who do an amazing job of giving special voices to the characters and who paint pictures of what is happening in the stories by the way they read the books. I can't imagine that I could like a movie rendition, or even an audio dramatized version of these stories more than these audio books that are simply read in their entirety. They're captivating! I really like that you get the REAL story - it hasn't been changed and nothing has been deleted for the sake of filming or making it dramatic. And you still get to use your imagination to create the scenes in your mind. We don't have any children yet, but when we do, we will definitely listen to these with our kids.

Amazon.com
The Chronicles of Narnia, by C.S. Lewis, is one of the very few sets of books that should be read three times: in childhood, early adulthood, and late in life. In brief, four children travel repeatedly to a world in which they are far more than mere children and everything is far more than it seems. Richly told, populated with fascinating characters, perfectly realized in detail of world and pacing of plot, and profoundly allegorical, the story is infused throughout with the timeless issues of good and evil, faith and hope. This boxed set edition includes all seven volumes.
Book Description
Collection includes all seven novels in the series.

Timeless Set, Great Presentation.......2007-10-05
This set is a great gift whether you were a kid 40 years ago or you're a kid now. For years this set of books has taken millions of readers an adventure after adventure. If you enjoyed them as a child or even as an adult, get this set and share the adventure with your loved ones.
Wonderful book , very absorbing.......2007-09-28
I am almost thru with the Chronicles of Narnia and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Great read and so absorbing.
Meets expectations.......2007-09-26
Boxed book set was in like-new condition; on line description was precise. Shipment was prompt. Would not hesitate to order from here again.
Narnia boxed set.......2007-09-17
Nice box. Paperbacks are cheap productions but it is an ok set for the price.
The Real Fantasy.......2007-08-25
Well, usually I despise the kind of fantasy with talking animals and little kids hopping around, as the talking animals are a consequence of the author's inability to paint realistic humans, and the little kids a clear admission that the story is too simple to be appreciated by anyone with more critical sense of a kid.I also hate book "with a moral", they are stiff and feel "constructed" and artificial. This book is an exception in all senses. It's masterfully written, with a class and style the only the greatest writers possess. Characters are alive and breathing, both the humans and the animals, and merge beautifully, and the Christian inspiration flows silently, discreetly and subterraneanly almost all the time, with a class and reserve that reminds of the only Master. A precious , captivating , charming book that would be a real shame to miss if you have not already read it! And don't be discouraged by the horrible movie they made out of it. It had its usefulness for me, as I didn't even know this book existed until I heard about the movie, but luckily I expected the book to outclass that wretched excuse for a movie they did, and, man was I right!
So if you are up for a book that will bring you in a wonderful, colorful, exciting and enriching adventure hurry and get this book, and , as others have said, take care to read it in the original order on which it was written, not the "chronological Narnian order". Some publishers have been stupid enough to publish the various tales in this latter order which spoils most of the surprise and suspense.
The order in which you should read it is:
1) The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, 2) Prince Caspian, 3)The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, 4) The Silver Chair, 5) The Horse and His Boy, 6) The Magician's Nephew, and 7) The Last Battle
The only shadow on this masterpiece is the superficial and ill-chosen choice of the Narnians villains and enemies as people who are way too reminiscent (you could say copied) from our world stereotypical muslim people. besides being superficial and offensive, it also spoils the beauty of the tale with his gross oversimplification and stink of prejudice, ignorance and lack of fantasy. It's sad to see how the dark sides of religion , prejudice, closure, and lack of tolerance pollute not only our everyday life but even a literature masterpiece. Also, I would consider this book as made by the first 6 tales, the last one "The Last Battle" is hugely inferior to the other six, just a quick closure that lacks structure, coherence and , well, "magic".
Especially painful since it attempts to deal with the core of religion.. want to know what I mean by this? Go read the book!

Reddragon.......2007-03-30
The product came quickly. It was exactly as advetised and met expectations. Thank You. I enjoyed the stories very much they exceded my expectation.
How Could It Be Anything But..........2007-02-05
Compelling, insightful, inspiring, entertaining, enchanting, fully capable of making you think. This set is not just for young adults--much of the intent of the author, I believe, is to reach all young minds, from children to adults, and speak to each individual on a level suitable to their comprehension. There is a reason this set is a Classic--It takes you away, to a land and people and creatures who become believable, viable, and capable of changing not just hearts, but worlds.
Chronicles of Narnia review.......2007-01-10
I have really enjoyed it. The only thing that could have made it better is if each character in the story was read by a different actor.
Brilliant work by riveting actors.......2006-11-10
This is a dream work -- stories I love read by actors who get every drop of nuance out of it. Profoundly good stuff, of the sort I'll listen to over and over until I know it all by heart. I'd listen to Patrick Stewart, Kenneth Branagh, Derek Jacobi, and Lynn Redgrave read the phone book; I'd listen to a telephone operator reading C.S. Lewis. How glorious to have the two pleasures in one project!
The only performance I'm less than staggered by is Michael York's reading of the first book, _The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe._ Whether it was his choice or the director's, he uses a patronizing, sing-song lilt, as if reading to very young and not very bright children. It insults the book and the audience both, and it's hard to listen to without rolling your eyes.
All the same, the other readings and the material itself more than makes up for it. Well worth whatever they charge for it!
Engaging From Start to Finish.......2006-11-04
The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis holds you from the first word to the last. These books on audio were amazing. The narrators from Branagh to York to Stewart et al were the perfect picks for each story. I listened to these books in my car everywhere I went. Now that I'm finished, I miss having them on. The stories are so rich with imagery. They are a great fit for any age. Lewis allows your own imagination run with the story. Like Tolkien, Lewis created a world and filled with characters that you will care about. As you follow through each story, you will see the similarities in their writings. I loved these books. Anyone that has seen the movie and doesn't know the whole story of Narnia should get them as soon as possible and learn the history of this magical world.

Timeless, every kid should have the set .......2007-08-16
I was almost 40 before I read this seven-book series. What a treat it was for an "old man." If you have kids, do them a favor and forget about the computer game and give them this series for their next birthday. Hopefully, they won't wait as long as I did to read them.
A Roaring Success!.......2006-11-09
The Chronicles of Narnia Box Set was given both to our daughter and to our granddaughter. They were happy to receive them and, after reading the set, were even more pleased. We also gave them the Inside Narnia: A Guide to Exploring The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to further enhance understanding the Narnia books. The review from them: FABULOUS! No need to say more. ~ Mrs. B.
Paper qualtiy poor.......2006-08-14
The box set is great reading...but for the price...especially the list price of $70.00, I would have expected higher quality paper. The set is printed on pulp paper and will not last worth beans and the covers are thin and not robust. You may as well buy the cheapest set you can find, because the quality of the cheaper books is not any lower, the books are just a little smaller and the "bonus content is just the first chapter of the next book and some other tidbits of marginal interest
Had I known about the paper quality being junk, I would have bought the individual books from Barnes and Noble with the slick, paper. It would have been about $25.00 more total, but I like to buy books that will still be readable in 20 years and not have pages crumble in your hands.
Book or Movie what a ride.......2006-06-15
I've seen the movie and I've read the book.
I normally write in detail on what struck me and pulled me as I read. But I must reserve myself and offer a simple point of view. Why? I hope you ask... and if you did ask... I'd say.. the book and/ or the movie is too good to ruin with a review read it, watch it enjoy it as if you don't know a thing about it and it take you where the writer intended. if there was a Ten STAR reting I'd have clicked it.
Wonderful! Excellent! Superb! (if you like fairy-tales then you may read this review, if not, don't go any further).......2006-06-08
The Chronicles of Narnia are beautifully written books. They are some of my favorite books I've ever read. I would strongly reccomend them to everyone. I have read them all seven times, and I still can't decide which is my favorite! People who don't like them surprise me. Not only are they wonderful fairy-tales, they also have a lot of underlying Christian themes.
In 'The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe', Aslan's death is a beautiful, deeply moving, picture of Jesus' death. Of course, if you don't like fairy-tales, you don't need to read this review.But if you do, then after you read the review, you might want to check out the books at the local library. I would give them 10,000,000 stars if at all possible, and I do give them 2 thumbs up! Wonderful! Excellent! Superb!

Narnia: a world of wonder!.......2006-12-04
"Chronicles of Narnia" by C.S. Lewis
Author C. S. Lewis has written a series enchanting for adults and children alike. We follow the adventures of children as they enter into the amazing world of Narnia. Narnia is inhabited by animals that can talk, and an amazing assortment of mythological creatures that delight and fascinate.
At the center of all of these dramas, the conflict between good and evil, doubt and faith, despair and hope predominates. After entering into the wonderous new realm, the children assume a new identity. They learn that in Narnia, they are regarded by all the creatures of Narnia as the Sons of Adam, and the Daughters of Eve.
From the first, the children enter into the new identity cautiously, struggling with the impulse to run away from all troubles and leave the Narnian creatures to their own fate. However, as the story progresses, the Narnians enchant them with their loving nature, and soon the struggles of the Narnian creatures become the passion of the children.
Through the progression of the stories, a wondrous sense of purpose is awakened in the hearts of the children. They no longer feel outside of life, nor do they feel that adults are responsible for everything. Each child takes up a weapon in Narnia, a weapon suitable to their individual nature.
With each new adventure, the children learn that evil is seldom far, and that courage must always be embraced in the fight to assure the outcome of the good, in these adventures in the forests, on the plains, upon the sea, and in the mountains of marvelous Narnia.
C. S. Lewis has written a series of tales that can be compared to the books of J.R.R. Tolkien. Both authors address the issue of the unawakened self as it assumes a vital role, as it begins to engage in life. Both authors demonstrate a simple fact, a fact that can be found in even the simples folk tales of "Uncle Remus" who tells us: "No sir, you just cain't run from trouble!"
Generations of children and adults are indebted to C. S. Lewis for his stories, and they have warmed many a heart, and coaxed us through the periods of tedium that arise from time to time. These books renew our awareness of purpose, and inspire us with the idea that there is more to Life than meets the eye. There is wonder, adventure, and new purpose with every book.
Very much recommended. Absolutely Five Stars.
The Magician's Nephew is book 6 of a set I am reading.......2006-08-05
I have not known these books until now and I am almost 60. I do enjoy this type like the Harry Potter also. I am wondering why the book I have that was printed in 1970 states it is Book 6. The order on the back cover is in order as follows: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe/ Prince Caspian/ The Voyage of the Dawn Treader/ The Silver Chair/ The orse and His boy/ The Magician's Nephew/ The Last Battle/////
Just wondering what the true order is supposed to be??? At any rate I am enjoying them.
Great primer...waiting for rest in set.......2006-03-09
LOved it the moment I saw it; however, can not find the rest of these lovely stories in the same type of hardcovers. Does anyone know if they are coming out soon?> Seriously...
Two books not full set.......2006-02-22
I did not realize I was ordering only the first two books in the Narnia series. I found the set attractive and used the same illustrations etc. as the original. But when I got the set, I thought I was getting the full set of all the volumns, not just the first two.

My grandson had just seen "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" and he was thrilled with these books. I plan on buying more additions!

Missing pages.......2007-09-22
Great price for a boxed set. Bought these for Christmas last year ('06) to replace our worn out set. Just now (9/21/07) discovered two chapters 13 & 14 were omitted in "Silver Chair". (I wonder what else is missing.) Now I know why the great price.
The Chronicles of Narnia Movie Tie-in Box Set (adult) (Narnia).......2006-12-26
Now how are you supposed to know if this sealed box set at the store is concidered 'adult' pray tell! There is no indication that it isn't illustrated like any other boxed sets that were ever printed of the Chronicles of Narnia! Nor does it say anywhere on the box 'adult' set. Also, it was sold where children's books were!
I am upset that it is without the illustrations. I have personally read this set about 9 or 10 times throughout the years and have always enjoyed the text as well as the illustrations. I bought this particular set at a store as a christmas present for my daughter and I am very irate about the omission. I also duly note the price is much higher than for the 'children's version {same text with wonderful illustrations)'. I am taking it back. I don't like it and have already purchased a set with illustrations from Amazon.
my comments.......2006-03-17
I enjoyed the books very much. They are a little different form my usual reading, R.A.Salvadore and Micheal Jordan. The books gave me a needed break. When I finished them I was happy to turn them over to my granddaughtter.
Sincerely Peter Gillespie
Great series of books!!!!!! I love the story!!!!!.......2006-03-09
It certainly has become one of my favorites series of books, if not the most. It really kept me entertained. I spent most of my work hours reading the books, and sometimes I hated been working because of the interrumptions. I read almost 10 chapters while working and kept me focused imagining everything that C.S. Lewis described as if I were watching a movie.
good read.......2006-03-03
only disappointed with the books being numbered chronologically instead of by publish date. they are great books for adults and children the like. easy to read and follow - creative, imaginative and humorous. maybe too short a novel and too simple for adults but who isn't a child at heart? the rough pictures in the books are very descriptive and makes the books more interesting.
it's better reading it by the publish date even though each book can stand on it's own. i'm up to the third book and it certainly flows well. i have a bad memory - it's easier to recollect their last visit when the author refers to it in the current book i'm reading. i have not read it in the numbered order but am sure i will one day.
the prince caspian book was brand new but was a bit mangled even though it came in the boxed set but i think it was a mechanical damage. i'm sure i'll survive with one smashed up binding.

abridgement schmidgement.......2007-03-19
we mistakenly bought this set thinking it was unabridged. My daughter was frustrated with the way it was chopped up and abridged and found it tedious.
My girl loved the books.......2007-02-07
I can't afford the box set of hard covers, so this was a great Christmas gift to my 4th grader.
