This book the magicians nephew is one of the best books I have read!! It is about two kids a girl and a boy who are creeping through the crawl space at the girls house when they find the magician! The magician is very nice at first but then he makes the children goto narnia! To find out what awsem adventures the children take part in buy this book! I recommend this book to most everyone who likes good books!

This was a very interesting book. It had a lot of action in it and there were several good parts. I recommend this book to people who are just beginning to read the set because then after this you can read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. When you start the The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, you'll find out what made the wardrobe magic and who the professor was because you already read The Magician's Nephew and that tells you. C.S. Lewis has a magic in himself for writing these marvelous books!

This book is a great prelude to the Narnia series, since it was written after the original series. It is about a girl and her friend who stumble upon an opening to a new world (its way more complex than this). The reason I only LIKED this book was because, like with most beginning stories, the introduction is boring. The intro on this one seems to be a little longer. I thought the book was very interesting once it got to the point.

If 'The Hobbit' by J.R.R. Tolkein was unexistant, than this prelude would have gotten 5 stars. But, since it is in existance, then it gets its 4 stars for 'liked it' but not 'fantastic'. If you like fantasy, then 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings' is the superior line. But don't take me wrong, the Chronicals of Narnia are Fantastic. (and of course Harry Potter) :)

The Magicians Nephew is a great book about a boy named Digory and a girl named Polly. Together they travel through different worlds with magic rings Digory's uncle gave them. His crazy uncle does experiments with the rings he made from a dust his grandmother gave him. He has Digory and Polly put on the rings to see if they can get back from the forest between the worlds. They decide to check out other worlds and in the process run into trouble when they go to a world were they awake and evil queen and accidentally take her back to there world were she causes havoc, and now they have to figure out how to get her out of there world and into another.

The parts of this book that kept me on my toes and reading were the lands they explored, the people they met, and the talking animals that Digory and Polly encountered.

This book is about a boy named Digory who lives with his uncle Andrew, and a girl named Polly, who of course, lives with her parents. Digory's mother is very sick with a disease that has no cure, and when they meet each other they find something that has been a seceret for years. Rings....green and yellow rings. Each of the rings had its purpose to and from another world. When Digory overheard the maid's friend, just a common lady that works at the market, and her have a conversation, the lady said that she got some grapes from the land of youth. Then at that moment Digory knew that he could save his mother's life by finding her the fruit of youth that could cure her. In the end, the secret is still a seceet but it wouldn't be for long. Did Digory ever find the fruit of youth that could saved his mother's life? But where did he find it from?

The moral of this book was just pure entertainment. This is one of C.S. Lewis's seven books that are wonderful to read.

It is a sustaining thiller that will keep you on your toes!

i got the box set from my grandmother when i was about 9 years old. these books are great for any age, they are the 1st harry potter series, that didn't get as much notice, but are great. i love the magicians nefew becuase of the sheer genius imagination you see in this book, and the others. i highly recomend this book, and if you like it, read the rest of the books, you will be glad you did.
