No problems with the story in particular, my complaints are about the quality of audio mixing on this one. The dialog of the characters is much louder than all of the other description/exposition parts of the book. It was hard to enjoy because I constantly felt like I had to adjust the volume knob during the reading.

Michael York did a great job a the narrator.

The message was there without being pounded into you.

He does a good job with voice expressions and the change in characters.

But saw all the movies... and Michael York's narration put those movies to shame. I was enthralled.

This is a little better than the Bourne Identity, but not by much.

I don't think so - his narration was very plain and lacking energy. I really enjoyed the narrator of the Magician's Nephew.

This was an excellent reading of this story. It made me feel as if I had gone through the wardrobe into Narnia.

If you're already acquainted with C.S. Lewis's writing style and the Chronicles of Narnia you will love this audiobook. C.S. Lewis’s style is that of a wonderful narrative being told to a child, yet without the typical simplicity that many authors talk down to a child. Michael York’s rendition is nothing short of superb. His cadence, rhythm and shear enthusiasm brings the story to life in one of the most wonderful readings. This is what an audiobook truly should be.

Absolute wonderful job done by Michael York. I'd have to say he is one of my favorites. He uses different accents for different characters which made the listening sooo much more enjoyable. My son and I listened along with the book in hand for bedtime reading. It sure saved my voice! Loved it! We look forward to cozying up for the rest of the Chronicles of Narnia. I highly recommend this audiobook.

This book is a classic, which I loved from my childhood, and I do recommend it as a wonderful children’s story. The land of Narnia is a fantastic place all children should explore. This production, however, is not perfect. I was greatly looking forward to listening to the audible version, as I am also a fan of Michael York, and love his voice. Unfortunately, Mr York’s pacing was quite slow and flat, and combined with the style of writing sounded rather condescending toward the listener. Children will still love this presentation, but as an adult I was somewhat disappointed. Perhaps the other narrators will do better.

excellent I couldn't stop listening fun for children and adults!

Mr. York is fantastic! I loved listening to his beautiful voice as he really brought the book to life. I am afraid the new movie may be too intense for my 5 and 9 yr old girls, but this is excellent. I plan to read it with them, but for now, we are all three enjoying Mr. York's interpretation. The voice's he uses are great! I plan to search for more narrations by him now.

By all means, read the books to your children or better with them, but the drama in this audiobook makes it a must have along with the books.
