The Chronicles of Narnia Movie Tie-in Box Set (adult) (ISBN 006082042X)

good read:
only disappointed with the books being numbered chronologically instead of by publish date. they are great books for adults and children the like. easy to read and follow - creative, imaginative and humorous. maybe too short a novel and too simple for adults but who isn't a child at heart? the rough pictures in the books are very descriptive and makes the books more interesting. it's better reading it by the publish date even though each book can stand on it's own. i'm up to the third book and it certainly flows well. i have a bad memory - it's easier to recollect their last visit when the author refers to it in the current book i'm reading. i have not read it in the numbered order but am sure i will one day. the prince caspian book was brand new but was a bit mangled even though it came in the boxed set but i think it was a mechanical damage. i'm sure i'll survive with one smashed up binding.

The Chronicles of Narnia Movie Tie-in Box Set (adult) (Narnia):
Now how are you supposed to know if this sealed box set at the store is concidered 'adult' pray tell! There is no indication that it isn't illustrated like any other boxed sets that were ever printed of the Chronicles of Narnia! Nor does it say anywhere on the box 'adult' set. Also, it was sold where children's books were! I am upset that it is without the illustrations. I have personally read this set about 9 or 10 times throughout the years and have always enjoyed the text as well as the illustrations. I bought this particular set at a store as a christmas present for my daughter and I am very irate about the omission. I also duly note the price is much higher than for the 'children's version {same text with wonderful illustrations)'. I am taking it back. I don't like it and have already purchased a set with illustrations from Amazon.

my comments:
I enjoyed the books very much. They are a little different form my usual reading, R.A.Salvadore and Micheal Jordan. The books gave me a needed break. When I finished them I was happy to turn them over to my granddaughtter. Sincerely Peter Gillespie

Missing pages:
Great price for a boxed set. Bought these for Christmas last year ('06) to replace our worn out set. Just now (9/21/07) discovered two chapters 13 & 14 were omitted in "Silver Chair". (I wonder what else is missing.) Now I know why the great price.

Great series of books!!!!!! I love the story!!!!!:
It certainly has become one of my favorites series of books, if not the most. It really kept me entertained. I spent most of my work hours reading the books, and sometimes I hated been working because of the interrumptions. I read almost 10 chapters while working and kept me focused imagining everything that C.S. Lewis described as if I were watching a movie.
