I have the all in one Chronicles of Narnia in paperback. By the time I finally finished reading it yesterday, its cover was tattered. Bought it in November of 2005 and read the first four books before abandoning it for other books ( last two Harry Potter books, Interview with the Vampire, the Twilight series, etc). It sat and collected dust for a few years until recently, when I decided at last to finish reading it. Overall, the stories are beautifully written and fascinating. My very favorite story in the series is The Magician's Nephew, which shows us the birth of Narnia. There was just one problem: not enough Jadis! I also loved The Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe, as well as The Silver Chair. The Last Battle, where we learn the real-life fates of the Pevensies and their cousins, is sad and beautiful. The books were originally written for children, but like the Harry Potter books are advanced enough for teens and adults. (show less)
