brookhorse 's review for:
The Mouse and His Child
by Russell Hoban
Wow. What a beautiful and satisfying read. I wasn't quite sure what to expect with this book; probably something sad but poignant, as many of these sorts of books I read as a child were. I did get a bit of that, but I also got a lot of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland whimsy, a compelling story, and a deeply heartwarming and satisfying ending. Full of lovely characters, intriguing ideas, and--at the risk of sounding twee--plenty of heart, this was such a wonderful read. Definitely going to need to won this for myself.
