The book was nice to read, but I think the thing I enjoyed the most was actually the dedication. I didn't know that C.S. Lewis's goddaughter was named Lucy and the book was written for her :-) I thought the dedication was cute/funny.
I don't really have anything that deep to say about the book, although I'm pretty surprised it is considered a "childhood" story since it's got a fair amount of violence in it. But then again I guess one could say the same about Harry Potter. I'm also always surprised at how simple the book is compared to movies that are made based on them. For instance, I don't remember much about the movie and I'm not even sure I saw the whole thing, since it was just on TV, but I know the battle scene took up like 1/3-1/2 of the film time while in the book it was literally one line that didn't even specifically say that Aslan had killed the White Witch. It was only stated a few lines later that the witch was actually dead. I know those are the scenes that make the most money and make the movie more theatrical, and I'm seriously looking forward to some HP battle scenes in HP7p2, but it's still interesting the way Hollywood changes things.
