Book Review: The Amazing Maurice & his Educated Rodents

~
Author: Terry Pratchett
Book: The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents

Maurice, a streetwise tomcat, has the perfect money making scam. Everyone knows the stories about rats and pipers, and Maurice has a stupid-looking kid with a pipe, and his very own plague of rats - strangely educated rats...

But in Bad Blitz, the little con suddenly goes down the drain, For someone there is playing a different tune and now the rats must learn a new word.

EVIL

It's not a game anymore. It's a rat-eat-rat world. And that might only be the start...

Review: I notice that most of Terry's book have a slow start. But compared to other books that I have read, this book was pretty much slow all the way nearing the end. This is the longest that i have read a 1 inch thick book. And there is so much rats, blood, gore, green wobbly stuff and gross unimaginable things. Not much of of a humourus book but still funny at some parts. I find it amusing that the rats learned how to think after eating the green glowing stuff from the dumpster behind the wizard's school. They began to learn how to talk and read and even write so they can remember things. I found that Terry loves to inject the notion of writing as utmost power in all his books. Maurice, by the way, learned how to talk and think after eating one of them. But I guess the book is okay. Not one that I would read again.
But still I have my favourite part. here it is:
When the stupid-looking kid and Malicia were on the trail of the scam, in the presence of the tap dancing rat, Sardines.
' And if there's no rats under the town but the ratcatchers are nailing up bootlaces, I smell a rat,' said Malicia.
' Sorry,' said Sardines, 'I think that was me. I'm a bit nervous-'
