The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is the classic tale of four kids who were sent off to an old professor's house in during World War Two. They discover a magical wardrobe that takes them to a land called Narnia. The land is being ruled by the evil queen and it is up to Lucy, Peter, Susan and Edmund to stop her. So they set off to find Aslan. The Lion King. They need him to guide them. It turns out the queen was planning on killing Edmund and Aslan sacrifices his life for Edmund's. 

Aslan is the wise king. He is represents all of the goodness of Narnia. Lucy is sweet and innocent, Peter is strong and sometimes acts like a father to all of the kids. Susan watches out for Lucy and Edmund but she is a lot tougher than she looks. Edmund rebels a lot, you can tell that losing his father made a huge impact on him, The Evil Queen makes it so it is winter everyday, but never Christmas. 

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.
