 ... tune, their signal to split, and the rats follow him out of there. Keith is, of course, payed for his services. As Maurice tells the rats, it isn't exactly stealing. You know, just because it's all an act, a few of the clan rats believe it is illegal and immoral, but Maurice assures them otherwise. But Maurice has this weird little ability to convince the educated clan of rodents that anything he tells them is true. Because he says if they didn't take the money, the government would use it to "start wars". All...more

"Hey, Mum", says Darling Daughter (DD), "the school library has two whole shelves of Terry Pratchett - do you want me to bring any home?" "Oh, yes" say I, "Please." Fast forward one day (I read fast). "So, Mum, what's The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents about?" queries DD. "Well," I answer, "It's about one cat, and a whole slew of rats who can talk..." "What, you mean to each other?" asks DD. "Well, yes, and to anyone else who will listen...it's kind of a twist on the Pied Piper of Hameln." "The ...

The humour in the book also feels a bit different to other Discworld books. The basic jokes which are obvious to almost everyone reading the book are still ...

Amongst the presents I received on Christmas Day was this little beauty – The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett. What a great title for a game of charades! I have been really getting into Pratchett in the past year or so and had been looking forward to this one, because I’m a big fan of rats! I have kept rats on and off since 1989. We currently have three – two white ones (Sabrina and Salem) and a black and white one (Hattie). So this subject matter is perfect. Pratchett is a wonderful author, a classic storyteller in the old tradition. Of course, you get well-developed characters and bucketloads of humour, ...
