The Wood between the Worlds
Greetings, fellow geekos!! Sorry for not posting sooner!! Anyway, the real name of the book I’m reviewing is “The Magician’s Nephew”. It’s the first of the seven books of the Chronicles of Narnia.
Firstly, I’m going write a bit about the author. His name is Clive Staples Lewis and he is a Christian. You may think this small piece of information insignificant but it’s quite the contrary really… It actually explains a great deal about the Chronicles of Narnia.
The Magician’s Nephew tells about the origins of Narnia and how it came about. There was this magician who created two types of rings; yellow and green. These rings enable you to travel to other worlds. But before going to another world, there’s this transitional space you’ll disappear to first. Ahh… that would be The Wood Between The Worlds.
Narnia is a world on its own. The ultimate Ruler of Narnia is Aslan, a lion, and every time he appears in the book, I get goosebumps, I kid you not… In the beginning before Narnia was made, the magician’s nephew accidentally unleashed Jadis, the most evil Queen in the world who wreaks havoc wherever she goes. When Aslan made Narnia, Jadis fled only to return when everyone thought she was gone.
I think it is so unbelievable how these 7 books are so relevant in our lives. First, the wood between the worlds… I guess to me, it sort of reflects the position you find yourself in when you’re deciding between two different things and how you must face the total consequence of your choice. And in the beginning even before the world was made, evil already existed. I guess it made me realize that although we are super susceptible to ever present temptation, His grace is really sufficient for us.
Well, I think you guys should read it! Honestly speaking, it’s the most boring of the seven but you kinda have to read it to understand how it all began.
The verdict :
P/S : My review is so lousy!! I’m so sorry if I bored you all to death….=(
I’ll try harder next time I promise!!! I don’t know how to write la..
Don't hate me pls!!
