The Last Battle is the final book in the Chronicles of Narnia, a fantasy series written by C.S. Lewis. I chose this book because it was the conclusion to this series of great books.

  The Last Battle begins when a rather sneaky ape named Shift tricks a donkey named Puzzle into tricking Narnians into believing that Shift is speaking for Aslan (The Narnian god/messiah-like figure, who C.S. Lewis uses as a metaphor for God.) using a Lion's skin. Shift uses Puzzle to trick the Narnians into working with the Calormenes (Humans from another country) to cut down talking trees for the lumber they provide, and uses the money made to put into "Aslan's Treasury" for the good of the Narnians. The Narnian king and his unicorn (I didn't wright the book) Jewel hear about this and go to investigate. After a small series of events, the children from the previous Narnia books are all brought back to help stop the trickery. After the battle, a long series of miscellaneous events unfolds and eventually, among the chaos, Aslan truly appears. He takes the faithful to his land, and then the world is eaten by dragons and lizards whilst the stars fall from the sky, the ocean rises, and the sun destroys the moon.

  Out of all of the Narnia books, this one was by far the most interesting to read due to its long chains of strange events (Example: The random unicorn friend.) and metaphorical storyline (C.S. Lewis was highly religious and, throughout all of the books, he placed many metaphors toward Christianity, though it was most apparent in this installment.). This book is, as with all of the Narnia books, appropriate for all ages.
