I read this series when I was younger. Actually more my father read the series aloud to me when I was younger. I remember loving it. Whether it was the stories themselves or having my dad read them to me. I just really remember loving it. 
 And well to be honest the reason why I'm reading the series again is 1) I honestly don't remember them, 2) my book club's book this month is The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Well I couldn't read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe without reading The Magician's Nephew. So here we are. 
 I did enjoy this book. It was clearly meant for younger readers. And I really really wish I remembered how I felt about it when I was younger, so that I could compare to now. 
 I think this was a great book for younger audiences and for parents to read to their kids. However, because it is meant for a younger audience, it was very fast paced and kind of ended abruptly. 
 The novel was well written and I enjoyed the characters and their interactions with each other. I think it was a good origin story and I look forward to rereading the rest of the series. 
 HAPPY READINGS!!!!
