Book Club Report #2

The book I'm reading is till The Chronicles of Narnia. It has totally 202 pages and I'm now..let's see..in page 22. ^^ The book is a little bit difficult so I had to read it again and again. I understand about 65% of what I read. Gail recommended me to watch the film first before reading book. I've just borrowed the film from a friend of my uncle but I don't have time to watch it. I'm going to watch the film this weekend..
I think the setting of the book is a little bit confusing; therefore, It makes me confused. At the beginning of the book the writer said: "THIS IS A STORY ABOUT SOMETHING that happened long ago...". He also mentioned Mr. Sherlock Holmes. I just know that this story begins in London around 1900. And Digory is the most interesting character. He is a young boy and I think there will be a lot of fantasy things happen with him and Polly. I'm eager to know what will happen next, maybe they will have many obstacles and dangers in their way to the magical land (lol, good imagination huh?)
Some Vocabulary words and definitions:
