What I'm Missing Out as A Child :: Narnia

Since I spent loads of time in the hospital, I started abusing my Kindle for a bit.... Okay, a lot. So here and there, I'll post a book review of what I read. Or re-read. So growing up, somehow I missed Narnia. My childhood was adorned with Roald Dahl, Enid Blyton, and loads of Hans christian Anderson. When I was in high school my favourites was Harry Potter (don't judge....regardless what people say Rowling is an EXCELLENT writer), started reading Tolkien but I got bored (yeah sorry. I shall try again tho) and got quite addicted to some controversial writers. But somehow, never Narnia. I love the movies... But somehow I never got to the reading of the book. So I downloaded Silver Chair. And The Last Battle And Magician's Nephew I'm hooked. It's like reading the Bible in a parable kind-of story. Lewis is making parables of the Bible. Holy moly. What I love about Narnia series is the little pocket of truths that sporadically pops up as you flip the pages. They told the story of Grace in the most amazing way. And how easy you identify yourself with the doubt of Lucy, the cockiness of Edmund, the forgetfullness of Susan, the timidity of Peter, the snobiness (is that a word?) of Eustace.... The grace and bravery of Aslan. My favourite character? Reepicheep. So yeah. If you have kids or you are a kid at heart, or if you are a human being who likes to read you would LOVE this book. Or if you always enamored by Grace ad you would love to see it in a million different faucets of how it can be applied to humanity. My favourite quote: “I have been wandering to find him and my happiness is so great that it even weakens me like a wound. And this is the marvel of marvels, that he called me Beloved, me who am but as a dog.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Last Battle Can anyone guess which part of the Gospel this reminded me of? auds xx
