I must say i fell in love with Mathias the main mouse character. Mr Jacques made an attempt to dazzle and entice the reader with his first novel and he did it! I was enchanted by the character, it may be hailed as 'childrens fantasy' but i loved it and im 24 years old. I didnt care who thought what of me, i read whatever i want, instead of what some people say more 'adult' stuff. . . Despite the fact that all the main characters are animals, i find nothing 'childish' about this novel, like any good and well followed through fantasy, it has love, death, passion, betrayal and everything else in between.

Ive read countless fantasy books, and this one is definately on the top of my list. Mr Jacques writes with such an airy ease. You can truly tell its like sitting down and listening to someone tell the story, instead of actually reading it :P

i highly recommend

4.5 out of 5 stars
