The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis
5.0
My unchronological journey through Narnia has come to an end. And this was a fun story to finish with. It's the only Narnian story that does not star someone from our world. Instead, the main character is Shasta, a boy raised by a harsh fisherman who found him as a baby. When he overhears his "father" selling him to a Colorman, he runs away with his new master's talking horse.
C.S. Lewis looked at this story as symbolic of the Christian journey through a land that is not his home. Bree and Shasta travel though a country not their own in the hope of reaching Narnia. However, when I listen to this story I don't feel compelled to stop and think about the message hidden in it's pages as I do with some of the others. This book, in my opinion, contains the best writing and most cohesive plots. I hope someone, someday, turns it into a movie.
