reading (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe)

[eor]

I finished "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" last week soemtime. It was the first time read for me. After reading it, I am surprised this book gets so much mileage. To me it felt contrived, poorly paced, and not well brought together. I excuse a certain amount of the Mary Sue because it's kid lit, but it seems a little heavier in Sueness than the usual. I suppose it's alright for a young reader, but it would be down on the list of my choices for giving a kid. I will read the rest of the series, because I have them, but it's not a auspicious start.
