The part which I really liked the most in The Magician's Nephew was:
[spoiler] When Digory chose to obey Aslan and return the fruit to him instead of buying into the Witch's trap and taking the apple for himself. I found that part so cool because Digory didn't succumb to his own desires but trusted in Aslan and put Narnia before himself. Aslan rewarded Digory for his obedience by giving him an apple from the tree to heal his mother. It reminded me of that verse in Proverbs where it says "Trust the the Lord your God and lean not on your own understanding". ^_^ Also, it kind of gave me an idea as to what might have happened if Adam and Eve didn't disobey God in the Garden of Eden. [/spoiler]

Warrior 4 Jesus wrote:I mean overdone as in overperformed (media-wise, plays etc and it's the only Narnia book read in schools! Grrr...). It's definetly not meodramatic, too allegorical (although it is VERY obvious and definetly not over-written). But I think the stories after are just more mature in their scope, their complexity of story (and characters with actual flaws!). The excuse that books have to be immature if they are aimed mainly at kids is rubbish. Kids are a lot more intelligent than most realise.
