They are wonderful! I think the last of the books has to be my favorite, but wouldn't have the same impact unless you have read the series. It is so sad, but then it's okay, and it is so amazing, but it really turns out okay. I don't want to say more because I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't read it. If you haven't read the Chronicles of Narnia, I highly recommend them. I think I'm going to have to read them again. And I'm not normally a repeat reader.
