This was such a great book. It was detailed, yet easy to fallow. The story line was great and over all the book was very well written. It was one of those books that you want to keep reading.
I made lots of connections between this book and the movie. There were a few differences. Just description wise, for example, in the book the witch just gives him enchanted Turkish delight in order to make him want more. But the witch said in order to get it, he would have to bring him and his siblings to her. In the movie Edmund asks for it, instead of it just being given. I only saw a few tiny details.
