A review by goodverbsonly
The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis
5.0
if i could: i recently reread the magicians nephew on my way home from scranton and it’s!!! delightful!!! i’ve pretty much exhausted my ability to do a full review of narnia, and i’m on mobile anyway about two
months after last read it but:
1. it is so much funnier than i remember it being. i haven’t sat down to read lewis since high school until this year, and he is so clearly so much smarter than me. it comes through in his humor. i found myself laughing out loud in my car on the way home from school.
2. polly and digory are equally balanced characters with a lot of wonderful personality traits. i think one of my favorite things about narnia is how our heroes think and act like children, and they also aren’t always good. digory has a kind of mean streak to him, not just when he’s under the influence of magic. polly is definitely. huffy in the way only adolescent girls can be.
