Great book, and a fast read. Slightly more gory than I'd have initially thought, so I may not read it to my youngest children yet, but it's definitely worth reading.

It is so sad that what could have been a really great book is written with such awful bigotry. DiCamillo uses this story to show her hatred for the Catholic Faith and the Sacrament of Reconciliation, something that has brought so much healing to millions of people around the world. The author...

    Absolutely my favorite book of all times. After reading the Harry Potter series I could find a single book that was better, until I read Because of Winn Dixie which led me to read this book. Congrats Ms. DiCamillo.

    For one thing, i do not like things that crawl especially mice, but if i was to be trapped in a dungeon full of evil dangerous rats, being ordered around by one with a gold spoon on his head and a red table cloth wrapped around his neck, i would love to be friends with a mouse! This book talks about the power love has even in impossible situations. Sometimes, we all have to be brave sometime in our lives... right?

    If Mr. Bennet ever wrote a book, this is it. It's just... there needs to be a better word for "friggn' awesome". My language arts teacher started reading this to us towards the end of the year and never got to finish, an I kind of forgot about it for a while until I was just wandering around the library one day and my curiosity got the better of me. Over all a great use of symbolism.
