"If something isn't aesthetically pleasing or interesting, doesn't require skills I do not have, and makes a stupid point stupidly, I don't appreciate it as art. That doesn't make me a philistine. It makes me a non-rube."

The One with The Horse and His Boy

99. Title & Author: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis (241 pages)
Genre: Fiction--Fantasy & Adventure
Completed: 21 June 2009

Summary & Review:
Shasta, a young orphan raised by a fisherman in Calormene, runs away with a talking-horse who was kidnapped from Narnia long ago. Along their journey back to the North, they meet up with another refugee Narnian horse and her companion, a young noble girl named Aravis. While in the capitol of Calormene, they over hear a plot hatched by a prince of the land, Rabadash, to overthrow Archenland and Narnia. So they race across the desert and cross the vast mountains hoping to warn the people in time.

Book 3 in The Chronicles was an entertaining adventure with C.S. Lewis' typical prose and style featuring many of the same characters from Book 2, including Aslan, Edmund, and Lucy.

Rating: 7.0

I just got you comment on my blog about the polygamy book. It's a historical fiction novel written by a good friend of mine. It's not the best book ever, but an easy and interesting read. He has written other church fiction as well. Thanks for the comment!
