This one is really violent, especially if you are fond of animals, but I enjoyed it.

¿Qué pasaría si un chico con su flauta se aliase con un gato y un grupo de ratas capaces de hablar y pensar? Pues Terry Pratchett pensó que lo que pasaría es que se dedicarían a estafar a la gente: una performance perfectamente ejecutada para sacarle el dinero a los gobiernos que se tragasen la mentira de una plaga de ratas y un flautista encantador. Peeeeero, quizá vaya siendo el momento de hacer un último robo antes de dejarlo para siempre y quizá el pueblo al que vayan no sea tan normal como los anteriores.
Terry Pratchett crea, a pesar de ser una novela algo más dirigida al público juvenil (¡tiene capítulos y todo!), una ambientación de cuento que roza lo absurdo con personajes totalmente memorables y momentos absolutamente icónicos.
Me gustaría borrarme la memoria para poder volver a leerlo por primera vez y reírme como siempre me pasa con sus historias.
