What a coincedence. I'm reading this now.
This summer i read the chronicles of narnia, not because I wanted to, but because of The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe coming out in theaters this winter. I figure once the movie comes out it'll be like The Lord of The Rings, where everyone went out and read the lord of the ring books,
when the lion the witch and the wardrobe makes people want to go out and read the Chronicles, I can just sit back and laugh because i've already read it. |

I edited it to remove possible spoilers...ahah. In time I hope. I like the ending of the book though. Very sad and also very...hopeful? Like...bittersweet. So sorry, but so neccessary, Anjin-san.

I read it several years ago because I liked lion/witch/wardrobe and I wanted to read the rest.
