C. S. Lewis - Horse And His Boy: Full-color Collector's Edition

Pros: Great characterisation in general, involving plot, subtle wit and symbolism woven in
Cons: Weak female characters

Notes on reading order The Horse and His Boy is the third Narnia novel I’ve read (there are seven Chronicles of Narnia in total) – having first read The Magician’s Nephew and then The Lion, The Witch, and The ...

Pros: Strong characters and plot
Cons: A different feel could leave some feeling cold

This book is the first time the chronology of Narnia really becomes an issue. It was written fifth, and was advertised as such for years. However, it takes place third, or really during the years covered by a few paragraphs of The Lion, the Witch, ...

Pros: an enchanting, Old-World feel as well as great characters and story
Cons: some un-PC statements

Rarely am I ever at a loss for words to describe my favorite books.

This is an exception.

I’m literally sitting here staring at a blank screen, wondering how I can review this book adequately. So I whipped out my old copy and...

Pros: a great adventure with lots of twists and turns
Cons: description of Calormenes could be considered to have racist undertones

The fifth book in the Narnia series according to the original reckoning or the third when taken in chronological order, The Horse and his Boy is fundamentally different from the other six in that none of the action occurs on Earth. The Last ...

Pros: wonderful adventure story- and more
Cons: subtle national chauvinism

This 5th book of the Chronicles of Narnia is a rousing adventure tale set within Narnia and its southern neighbors. Calormen, a cruel slave-trading neighbor of Narnia which seems to see little of Aslan's influence, is the setting for much of the book....

Pros: None whatsoever.
Cons: 'Preachy' would be a kind word for it.

The Horse and His Boy is the fifth book in the Chronicles of Narnia series by C. S. Lewis. Or it's the third if you're reading them in internal chronological order instead of publication order. Though I'm beginning to think you could read most of ...

Pros: well-written, enchants, you lose awareness of your surroundings
Cons: none that I can think of

This book is the third of the Chronicles of Narnia. The Chronicles of Narnia are, in order, 1. The Magician's Nephew, 2. The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, 3. The Horse and His Boy, 4. Prince Caspian, 5. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, 6. The...

Pros: Wonderful flashback, classic character cameos, great combination of main characters
Cons: It ends

"The Horse and His Boy", the 5th Chronicle of Narnia from C.S. Lewis, is a fascinating tale of daring escapism, undercover scenarios, and the journey to freedom.

...

Pros: Good adventure story, lively writing
Cons: A little out of date in some ways

This is possibly my favorite book in the Narnia series. I love the way it is such a self-contained little story, set entirely in the magical world where Narnia is a country. Don't get me wrong, I love the juxtaposition of our own world (or at any rate...

Pros: An exciting journey from Calormen to Narnia
Cons: None

The Horse and his Boy is another great book in the Chronicles of Narnia. It's unique in all of the books in that it starts out neither in our world nor in Narnia itself, but in the southern land of Calormen, a country that roughly parallels...

Pros: Good story with great morals
Cons: Not quite as good as the others

The horse and his boy is the third in the chronicles of Narnia series. It's a good book, and normally would be a great book, but when compared with the other six, this is probably the worst one. That's not to say, I didn't like the story. I enjoyed it...

Pros: Great story! One of a wonderful series of 7 books
Cons: No cons

This book was my favorite in the "Chronicles of Narnia" series. It follows the journey of a young boy named Shasta, from the life of a poor fisherman's son to a life of beauty and happiness. The book itself is written on a level for...

Pros: Adventure; well-written
Cons: Doesn't follow the fantasy aspect that the others do; no travel between our worlds.

The fifth book in the Chronicles of Narnia takes us to the time when High King Peter, Queen Susan, King Edmund and Queen Lucy ruled the land that they had saved from the White Witch. Finally, we learn a small portion of what occurred between those pages...

Pros: Suspenseful
Cons: no cons

This is my personal favorite in the Narnia series of books. You really get to know the main characters and enjoy their personalities. Bree by far is my favorite character, showing both strengths and weaknesses and therefore taking on a very...

Pros: Lovers of great books, should have a set of these.
Cons: Not one

"The Horse and His Boy" is just delightful. C. S. Lewis, wrote 7 books altogether, called "The Chronicles of Narnia". I have been reading the whole set once a year, (and sometimes more), for the last 25 years. I am now 61, and find...
