I purchased these books on the pretence that they would be a great read. I was disappointed. After reading the first 4 books, I started to dread reading the rest of them.It's true, these books do have a Christian background but being a Christian myself, I must say I would NOT recommend them at all.As for tolerance (as another reviewer, Robert J. Ruhf says we must all practise)....why should anyone tolerate racism and murder?! These books are full of it!!! Unacceptable! Sadly, we do live in a violent world but it is NEVER right to teach our children that it is ok to kill people as long as it's for a so called `good' cause.Lewis's Aslan, who us earthlings know better as God is disgraceful! No true Heavenly being would call upon innocent children to wage war! What was this Author thinking!I wish I had borrowed these books instead off rushing off to buy them. Don't waste your money, try the library and I recommend the adults read it before giving it to their children.
