This is always so hard for me to do, beacuse they are all so good in different ways. But my two favourites are LB and VDT, so I wish I could vote for more than one. So I voted for LB, but I could have just as easily voted for VDT. My order:

1) LB and VDT
3) Magician's Nephew
4) Silver Chair
5) Horse and His Boy
6) LWW
7) Prince Caspian
 
Choosing the "best book"

Someone wrote, "LWW because it showed about how they discovered it." Great! and yet, the Magician's Nephew is the one which explained how Narnia came into existence.

Interesting how one book might be "better than another", yet is one day better than another in our lives? Do they not all add up to the conglomerate of chapters in this game we call life, anyway? So how can one be better?

Sorry, just being in a philosophical mood.

Personally, I enjoyed David Suchet as the voice of Aslan in the radio show CDs. It was a far cry from the somewhat retentive Hercule Poirot he played on A&E.
 
Hey

LWW is the best I am reading the dawn treader it's good but I LOVE LWW :)
:) :) :)I think Dawn Treader is the name is it I don't know I just read not pay attention to the name
 
Well, they're all great for different reasons.

Magician's Nephew: Great because it tells the tale BEFORE Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy, so you can really get a feel to how and why the wardrobe is where it is today, and how the lampost came to be :)

LWW: Great because the Pevensie kids have their own rivalries and arguments, and even through all that they come together and become leaders! Plus, it has great action sequences, even though in it C.S. Lewis didn't explain the battle properly :(

Horse and his Boy: It shows what life was like during the Pevensie kids' ruling, and Shasta's troubles to make it to freedom; it really tells you the behind-the-action part, instead of skipping straight to Prince Caspian and having us confuzzled as to what happened while they were ruling. Plus, Shasta and Bree are such interesting and rounded characters! :)

Prince Caspian: Awesome because in this one Edmund is nice the whole way through! =) Plus, Lucy becomes more leader-like and there's definitely more humor in this one compared to LWW. Definitely worth reading, especially if you like battle scenes and sad endings- well, KIND OF sad endings...but I won't give it away.

The rest are completely great as well, and give us more information- although I don't like it when the Pevensie kids aren't in it at least a little bit...it kind of takes the fun away. :(
 
none of them came close to The Lion the witch and the Wardrobe, sorry to say. it was just the original; the others were awesome, but nothing can beat LWW. if i had to choose a second, it would be PC, because i like the fact that it still has the Pevensies as main characters (i find it incredibly sad that all the children dont get to be in all the books).

so LWW wins
 
I didn't vote, b/c my faves are LWW and PC (b/c of hte Pevensies!), but I have recently acquired a random obsession with the novel that is entitled The Silver Chair for reasons unknown...

haha, i love sounded like some young professor...:)
 
I voted for LB. I like MN and LB the same amount though. LB was great because the end of it was truly amazing and MN was really good because it was the beginning so of course it was good.
 
I voted for The Last Battle because it is an awesome ending to an awesome series. It was fitting that they all found themselves forever with Aslan, their friends and family. The book also showed the deception of the type the antichrist will use in the last days. The visualization of what heaven might be like was very well done and made you feel like you were actually there.
