It's SO dark. Parents and a brother turning their children in to the ridiculous law to be put in prison, a child that is beat to the point of deafness for being ugly. I eat who's goal is to make everyone as miserable as he is. There isn't enough light to brighten that book. It takes the Lord's name in vain several times. ( )

I am sad to say that I saw the movie before I read the book but luckily it followed the story very well. It is inspiring and encouraging to it's readers without even really trying to be. The main character, Despereaux is trying to overcome his mouse status. He lives inside a castle and is not afraid the humans that live their. ( )

i think it is a great book but when he gets banished he goes to the rat filled dungeon. I think it is a great book ( )

The junior novelization has been simplified so that kids can have an easier time reading it. It is still a great story that involves friendship, courage, bravery, family, loyalty, love and adventure! If you are a child, then you will love it! If you are an adult, I recommend reading her original version. I found that this one was perfect for my third grade students but too easy simplified for my interest. ( )
