Reviews with content warning for Animal death - The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents

This was my first Discworld novel, and I'm so glad I decided to get the hardback version. I will definitely be revisiting this book in the future, as well as reading more of the Discworld.

I already loved rats, but if I didn't this would have changed my mind. Especially Sardines.

When I finished it last night I gave it three stars because it was drastically different from any of the other Discworld books and I didn’t like the change but I woke up this morning still thinking about it. I’ve changed my review to 4.75 stars because I think it may have genuinely changed how I view the world around me. It’s a challenging read (not in the sense that it’s difficult to read but because of the plot and the extreme range of emotion) but I definitely recommend it.

A very very fun book! Knowing that this is a book for young adults honestly makes it better because Terry Pratchett very obviously has a respect for young readers and writes in a way where he is clearly not undermining them. I think this might be my favorite Discworld book so far!
