Tex

This is a novel by S.E. Hinton, the same person who wrote The Outsiders. I am only on page sixteen but so far, I am not really enjoying the book. There is a very strong focus on living in the country and riding horses. The main character, Tex, has a horse named Negrito which he rides almost every day after school. He is very attached to the horse, and treats him like a human. He talks and has conversations with his horse, and discusses with the reader how his horse stomps his feet and tries to say how annoyed he is when he is not fed on time. I can tell that there is definently a very deep connection between the boy and his horse. Unfortunately, there is not really anything interesting going on in the story, and the book is slow.
