I just finished reading the entire series of the Chronicles of Narnia. I picked up the seventh and last book in the series, The Last Battle, and somehow managed to finish it before lunchtime. As I have noted previously in another entry, I am absolutely fascinated by these little books and would encourage anyone to read them. To sum up my feelings on the series as a whole, these books are so very inspiring. The story line has a way of gripping you from the very beginning. Because it is a very easy-to-follow plot, it is so easy to remember the big picture even from one book to the next. The Last Battle was all that I'd hoped it would have been in a great ending. I can see now why C.S. Lewis set the standard in children's fiction. I really want my kids to read them when they get older. From time-to-time I will attempt to feature a different quote from the books on the blog here for your thoughts. There is a lot of wisdom in them, and many things that leave one challenged and inspired. I'm honestly sad that the series is over. I'm ready for another one!
