I read this book a few months ago and thought it was a beautifully written story. I was a little surprised to find how different the movie was from the actual book, but then again, why should I be? Isn't that the way it always goes?Despereaux Tilling believes in courage and bravery. How many other mice could say the same? It's because of these beliefs and his love for a princess that Despereaux is banished to the dungeon - a place where only rats survive.
A few of the characters were much more sinister in the book than they were in the movie, but I suppose they had to soften things up a bit for the kids. My 5 year old, who is currently obsessed with sword fighting, will love this book!
