Discussion Questions on The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe

I'd love to hear from those of you who have read "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe." Or, if you haven't read it, let me know your thoughts on the review. Here are a few questions to get you thinking.

Do you have a favorite part or quote in the book?
Who is your favorite character, and why?
What do you like or dislike about the book?
Do you disagree with anything in there?
What do you think of talking animals and the whole "fantasy" idea? Does it weird you out? Or do you enjoy reading things like that? Explain your reasoning. :-)
What stands out to you that seems like the book was written in the 1950s and not in recent years? Did any of the English terminology confuse you?
Do you like the writing style of the book?
Do you see any Biblical analogies in the book? (not perfect ones of course, but maybe one or two that seem familiar)
How would you compare the 2005 movie with the book? Or the 2005 movie with the old British movie? Give me some of the pros and cons of both. :-) (or the cartoon version too!)
Were there any differences that I didn't mention from the movie vs. the book, that you noticed or would like to point out?
Do you dislike any of the changes that were made in the 2005 movie, if so which ones, and why? If you didn't mind the changes, explain your reasoning.
Do you think movie producers today, take too much liberty in changing books into movies?
If you've read the book, when was the first time you read it? If you read the book when you were "young" and then re-read it when you were "older," what are some of the things that you forgot, or stood out to you more the second time you read it?
Any other thoughts or comments?

I'd love to hear your thoughts! Have a great day!
