Noel's The Magician's Nephew Review, April 6 2002
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: The Magician's Nephew; The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe; The Horse and His Boy; Prince Caspian; The Voyage of the Dawn Treader; The Silver Chair; The Last Battle (Paperback)
This was a very interesting book. It had a lot of action in it and there were several good parts. I recommend this book to people who are just beginning to read the set because then after this you can read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. When you start the The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, you'll find out what made the wardrobe magic and who the professor was because you already read The Magician's Nephew and that tells you. C.S. Lewis has a magic in himself for writing these marvelous books!

A Must Read, but Read this First, Jan 2 2002
By Brian Tracz - Published on Amazon.com

This book is a great prelude to the Narnia series, since it was written after the original series. It is about a girl and her friend who stumble upon an opening to a new world (its way more complex than this). The reason I only LIKED this book was because, like with most beginning stories, the introduction is boring. The intro on this one seems to be a little longer. I thought the book was very interesting once it got to the point.
If 'The Hobbit' by J.R.R. Tolkein was unexistant, than this prelude would have gotten 5 stars. But, since it is in existance, then it gets its 4 stars for 'liked it' but not 'fantastic'. If you like fantasy, then 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings' is the superior line. But don't take me wrong, the Chronicals of Narnia are Fantastic. (and of course Harry Potter) :)
