Customer Reviews
my number one - Rated Like the other reviewers, i love this book, it is probably top of my list, i re-read it every year or so, never tire of it, and it is magical for adults and children alike, on all levels, purely a beautiful story, a parable, a thought-provoking book. If you don't have a copy, you should have, i regularly buy it when i find it second-hand and give it to friends and relatives. Try it, you'll think about the mice for a long time. No cheese in this mouse story! - Rated I had this book as a child and read it several times - and still remember it very well many years later. The thing that really stayed with me was that it was a sad and moving story and was very different to all the "cheesy happy ending" type stories. it made me realise that not everything in the world was wonderful especially if you are a clockwork mouse!)I still have a copy of this wonderful book and will keep it for my daughter to read when she is older. Wind in the Willows it ain't - Rated This is probably one of the most memorable books I've ever read. I read it as an adult, so I can't really say what effect it would have on children, but it probably won't cheer them up much. While not actually a tragedy, it is a sad, forlorn journey touching on all the essential suffering and folly of life. All adults should read this book. I suppose it falls into the 'Lord of the Flies' school of children's literature, but really it's far more subtle and touching. * * * * * (That's ANOTHER 5 stars!) - Rated I read this twice as a kid, once more as a grown-up, and it's about time I read it again. Nothing remotely schmultzy about this. A wind-up mouse and his son are torn from their toy-shop world and forced to make their way, through war, a winter at the bottom of a pond, and slavery under Manny Rat. If there is redemption here, it is hard-won and difficult; if there are villains, they face the justice of their own judgement. This is such a profound yet accessible story that it's a minor miracle, and it's so good to see a book for children that doesn't begin by assuming they're stupid. A rightful classic. Think you have it tough? - Rated Talking animals and toys. Syrupy sentimental fairytale, you think? Wrong. This is astonishingly, heartbreakingly beautiful, with the most arduous, no make that harsh, journey you've ever done. Will have you in tears, no question.
