Excellent book. Good plot and great story line. Recommend this book to many who enjoy the Harry Potter series.
i found that i loved this book. great adventure
The mousedom of this book is so much like humanity you forget they are mice. A normal, quiet mouse guy undergoes some hair-raising adventures.
Hermux Tantamoq. Tucka Mertslin. Terfle (she's Hermux's pampered pet ladybug). The characters in this somewhat quirky book and its sequels have wonderfully inventive names, and wonderful stories to be involved in. I loved the hero, Hermux, who is sweet and sentimental and brave, and the story of his adventures is entertaining for all ages. A good series for a reader who wants something a little different.
If you like fantasy then you'll probably enjoy this book. The characters are mice, moles, beavers, etc. who lead lives repairing watches, flying airplanes and developing beauty lotions. It's an adorable adventure for fantasy lovers.
This is one of those kid's books that adults can enjoy. All age groups will get something out of the story. For me, it harkened back to reading "The Mouse and the Motorcycle".
The writing style is very much like the Jasper Fforde novels.
This is one heck-of-a story.
Watchmaker Hermux Tantamoq is a hardworking mouse who is thanful for ordinary things - donuts, coffee, peaceful evenings at home with his pet ladybug. But his quiet life takes a tramatic turn when Ms Linka Perflinger, dashing daredevil aviatrix and adventuress, bursts into his watch shop, drops off a broken watch, and steals his heart.
Hermux can't wait to see Ms. Perflinger again, but she doesn't return. Instead, a shady-looking rat comes in and demands her watch. Fearing something is amiss, Hermux follows the rat, and soon finds himself in the middle os a dangerous web of deception and intrigue.
Hermux's life is suddenly full of twists and turns and is anything but ordinary. He must be daring, he must be vigilant. And he doesn't know how. But as sure as corn is sweet and cheese goes moldy in the rain, Hermux must rescue Ms. Perflinger and, in the process, find out just what kind of mouse he really is.
You'll love it - mystery! adventure! rescue! abduction! deceit! intrigue! and all with mouses, rats ladybugs - it's fantastic!
