The rating is mostly for what I thought of it as a kid as opposed to now. It's one of those books that I really loved and I can't for the life of me fathom WHY. It reads like "Baby's First Book of Communism" now. I dunno, the message was a bit too ham-fisted for me to really enjoy it but I can see why I liked it as a kid (the message of sharing with those less fortunate was really all I picked up on at the time). Basically, it's not the message that bothers me, but the execution.

This was one of those books that I read the summary and was confused by what it was really about it. Honestly for the one who enjoys fairytales, especially the darker versions, I would recommend this story to be read. Thankfully I took a chance on it and it is one of the books that I have been able to add to my higher collection.
The story is a intriguing blend of "Pied Piper" with "Cinderella", which is an unusual combination within itself but it works. The story is breathtaking and full of suspense while also grounding the two fairytales that even with magic it makes you wonder why you haven't thought of fairytales within backgrounds of their time.
The main characters have an intriguing life of their own although a few like the Princess Amadea were a bit flat for their secondary roles. Others were devious, kind-hearted or like our protagonist so human that it makes you wonder he was even a rat to begin with. And you can immerse yourself with the human elements of the story - emotions, motives, ambitions, etc - that you know the author had a good grasp of the human mind.
The best part of the story for me is the way that it is written for it reminds me of Felix Salten's "Bambi" - novel and philosophy combined beautifully. Will definitely be returning to read this again.… (meer)
