comment :

 First book of a new fantasy adventure, written in the best world-hopping tradition and reinvented in N. D. Wilson's own inimitable style. this is a fantasy adventure reading book same as Narnia, i like the flow of the story, it become excited and excite very chapter. when Henry find out about the truth inside the cupboard, that is actually the story begin. the Aurthur use all the way to tell us and make us imagine what happen to the character and the surrounding.a lots of new words that i never use, i never know about it. i don't want to share it with you because i think you should read it by your self and find it. i actually had use my new words in my synopsis. i enjoy reading this book and i finish it only in 4 days which more faster than the book before this. If you enjoy watching Narnia, i bet you also will enjoy much with this novel. i think N.D Wilson have done a great job. :)
