The Hores and his boy is about a boy meets a hores and they have good time that way Ilike this book.
Rating:  -
This book is written differently from the 1st two (The Magician's Nephew and The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe) where it is more narrative in style with more attention to details. This is the 3rd book to be read in the order that C.S. Lewis would like (not the order of which it was written), and it does not have the excitement as previous books. This is a story of a displaced prince who was prophecied to deliver his people (like a Moses) but was kidnapped and sent to become a slave. The story happens outside of Narnia, and expands the world that Lewis creates. The interesting parts of this story was the involvement of Aslan as a driving force to things happening. In parallel of Aslan to Jesus, it showed how Aslan would appear at the right time and place to drive the purposes of plans of the prophecy forward. In these events, Aslan even wounded Aravis to reveal to her a lesson. We can also see how Aslan in his conversations with Shasta and Aravis that he was to tell only their story and not another, and showed how God is concerned about us as individual, even those outside of the promised land of Narnia. Even though this book lacks some punch, it is still worth reading.

I did like this book, it did bore me at some parts, but overall it was a good book. It is about a young boy named Shasta who lives with his father, whom he is not to fond of. He wonders of seeing what is beyond the south, but his father forbids it. one day, He meets a horse(Whom is of course no ordinary horse, this is Narnia, what would you expect?)named Bree, Whom is a talking horse. Bree takes Shasta where he has been wanting to go, but it is a long hot journey and they meet many interesting characters(some that the people whom read these books are familiar with)On their way. I do recomend this book.

The Horse and His Boy by C. S. Lewis being the third in the Narnia series is quite different from the two previous books as most of it takes place outside Narnia. It is a story about Shasta a boy who runs away from being sold into slavery and his marvelous adventure with the talking horse bree. The descriptors used by Lewis are splendid and the story is quite a page turner and I finished it off in less then three hours. I love the story and even though it is quite different then the previous two it is a still a stupendous adventure that should not be missed.

The Horse and His Boy
Lewis, C.S. The Horse and His Boy: Book three from The Chronicles of Narnia. New York: Scholastic Inc., 1954. 224 pgs.
The Horse and His Boy is a book about a young boy who hates his home and wants to run back to where he is really from, the north. He meets some friends and has some crazy things happen to him on his escape to the north. It starts out showing how terrible this poor kids, Shasta, life is. He lives with this man named Arsheesh who had found him when he was a baby. Arsheesh now forces Shasta to work for him, making fishing nets, in Calormen which isn't a nice country at all. "There was always something to find fault with for Shasta had plenty of work to do, mending and washing the nets, cooking the supper, and cleaning the cottage in which they both lived."(pg.1). One day a Tarkaan came by the house looking to buy the boy as a slave. While he was discussing the price with Arsheesh, Shasta found out that the horse the Tarkaan was riding was really a Narnian horse who could talk and his name was Bree. They discuss a plan and decide to run off together and try to escape into Narnia for neither of them liked where they lived now. So they ride off to the north and on their way they meet up with a girl trying to escape where she lives with another Narnian horse. The girl's name is Aravis and the horse's is Hwin, they decide to go together even though they have their differences. Throughout their adventure they have many close calls including almost being killed by lions and one of the most shocking is when Shasta was mistaken for a prince and taken in to the castle. They mistook him as the prince while he was trying to sneak through the city of Tashbaan. He was taken in and he had to sneak out and when he finally did he couldn't go on with his journey because Aravis was in another castle trying to get to a shortcut through the city, while she was in this castle she over heard a desperate plan to over throw Narnia by trickery and a lot of horsemen. She finally met up with Shasta and the horses but now they really had to hurry to Narnia so they could warn them about the oncoming army. They cross the desert and make it into Narnia's neighbor, Archenland and make it in time to warn them, from there they have a great battle, Shasta talks to Aslan, and there is a big twist at the end of the story. This is a great book for anyone who is an to adventures, it isn't quite like the other Narnia books, its not so much about the Country Narnia is it as about a boy trying to find his rightful place.
