I am not dissing the books nor am i comparing CS Lewis's works with Tolkien's ( for the record, i have read none of them).
My thoughts were only for the movie, which i felt abit letdown because it did not connect, i did not "feel" for the characters plus i thought the child actor's role were not very convincing. Myabe I had high expectations for it, but as Ive said, when you've watched the LOTR trilogy onscreen, everything else ( within the same genre ) so far sort of pales in comparison.
Rothrandir said:the chronicals of narnia is an excellent read. they were actually the first books i read, and what got me started.
i'm not really an avid book reader, due to lack of time, but i do enjoy reading.
nothing will ever compare with tolkiens works (i'm particularly fond of the silmarillion...), but narnia is very high up there in my favorites list. the movie doesn't come out until the 9th here, and i'm not sure yet if i'll get a chance to see it in theaters. hopefully i do.
tolkien and lewis were actually fairly close friends you know...
