I can't believe i was able to devour 2 books in a day. After I finished reading the magician's nephew, I didn't take time to rest and started reading the last battle immediately, which from my sources was the most action-packed book among the 7 chronicles of narnia.

The Magician's Nephew was better than what I expected. It addressed to my thirst for music. It was "THE" most musical chronicle, i think. I can't explain it much... You guys have to read it to see errr hear it for yourself... It's about the creation of Narnia and how evil (the White Witch) was able to take its place. It taught me about the power of "choice" and how, even a simple one can affect a whole "world".

Unfortunately, the Las Battle fell short of my expectations in terms of the "glorious battles" that my sources promised [ref: Sherwin, Johanna, and Rilian] .... I was expecting something more like eagles and phoenixes rising in the air and bombarding the evil Calormenes with large rocks and fireballs, Centaurs eliminating Calormene flanks with their shiny swords, Dwarves piercing Calormene helmets and breast plates with arrows sharper than the sharpest metal on earth, etc... But What I "saw" was something different. Though it didn't show any flashiness in the battles, it satisfied my heart and spirit. It was more like what to expect during the end of our times. It strengthened my hope for the future. It gave me another glimpse of heaven... of the new earth to come... and of my Saviour and King....

10 stars for the Chronicles of Narnia...

I also discovered that the full name of C.S. Lewis is Clive Staples Lewis

It's weird, I never liked a song for so long as "Homesick"...
