The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents is the first Terry Pratchett book I’ve read in quite a while. It’s a kids’ book but since with Pratchett they all could be kids books, the main indicator is length. It’s a short one dealing with rats and Pied Piper stories and actually thinking instead of just using your instincts (even though they would be much easier to deal with). It was a good little story including the girl who thought of herself as being in a story and kept having to be reminded that life isn’t like a story, until it was. Thank you Steve, for the birthday present.

Great concept for your blog. Enjoyed the reviews. Thanks for checking mine out as well!
My memory of that book involves reading it while my dad drove into a ditch, and how I didn’t look up until I realised we didn’t make the corner, and were in fact in the ditch. then I stopped reading. Surprisingly, I don’t actually remember much about the book itself.
I’m also employed now. Which makes the days go by faster, and I still have a bit of time for reading, here and there.
