If you read this (or have it read to you, like I did) at a young age. It contains the kind of story, writing, and characters that shape the kind of reader you'll become. I love this book. I love the story and the entire series. I loved Narnia - the world. I loved rooting for the talking animals against the Evil White Queen. I loved meeting Aslan, the great giant lion, for the first time through the eye of the Pevensie children. This book made me feel invincible and capable of anything - as long as I had kindness, hope, and faith in my corner. It also, really does shape the type of fantasy reader you become: there are the kids who are raised on "The Lord of the Rings" and then there are those raised on "Narnia" (this series). You can love both - as I do - but one will always reign in your heart.
This comment has been overly emotional - but it's just a great adventure - I recommend this book and its series to everyone who wants to on a great fantasy journey and get lost in it. As an adult I still re-read it and often find something new that I just didn't get as a child, because I wasn't old enough just yet.
It should be mentioned that this is not technically the first book in the series, but it is normally the one that everybody starts with.
