(Book Review)

Terry Pratchett’s: The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents

by Kel


(The Crawlspace geocities website is currently out of action, so you can access the article directly from the above link. )



I was chatting on MSN one day, when up popped a conversation about this funny book someone was reading. Apparently, the reader of the book was amazed at the similarities between three of the book’s characters (Maurice, Keith and Malicia) and three of Dark Angel’s characters (Logan, Alec and Max). But as not all of our readers may be Dark Angel fans, I’ll ramble on about that later. . . .

Well my interest is piqued. As soon as I remember to buy one of those tangible book things, I will try to have a squizz for this one. They are made of paper, right? and have nice pictures on the front?

This sounds like a fun book, and yes I can see Alec being a nit like Maurice - apart from that name, I keep thinking of that big ape that hung around with that yellow cat thing with the wicked long tail.

Pointless info, but I once had a dream about talking mice - freaked me out so much that I basically just stare at mice when I see them.

Now I'm curious. I may have to check this out myself.
And I agree, Maurice sounded the most like Alec to me. He has some killer lines that I could completely see Alec saying.

Thanks for the review! Smiley

Got to say Kel you have got me all curious. I read some Terry Prachett books a long while ago but never this one.

Sounds great..though does remind me in some ways of Mrs Frisby and the Rats of Nimh a little (think I have a thing for talking animals..Pink and the Brain as well!!)

Got to say the whole reading DA into anything is happening to me..see the characters in other movies....is this called obsession??

I have no idea if they have books of Terry Pratchett translated here in Holland, but I think i'll check the library, they also have lots of english books there. Sounds like a good book to take on my holiday.
