Summary: Time Stops for No Mouse
Review: Hermunx Tantamoq is a regular mouse. He has a regular life, lives in an ordinary apartment in the city of Pinchester, and he works hard at his job, fixing watches. One day, Linka Perflinger, mouse pilot, walks into Hermunx's shop, and Hermunx's life becomes totally twisted around. For one thing, Hermunx is practically head-over-heels in love with Linka. Then Linka has to go and mysteriously disappear, so of course, Hermunx must set out to find her. He runs into schemes and people he thought he would never run into. For instance, a wacky cosmetics tycoon, an evil plastic surgeon, and a huge army of evil lab rats. Hermunx is now running against the clock to save Linka, and he realizes, too late, that time stops for no mouse!
Although I could never relate to the wacky characters in this book, this is definitely one of my favorite books of all time. I love all the crazy characters, and it kept me at the edge of my seat! I couldn't put the book down. I always needed to find out what would happen next! I recommend this book to almost anybody, because it's funny, scary, suspenseful, sad and happy all at the same time! I think anybody would enjoy Time Stops for No Mouse.

Review: This book is my favorite book. If you havn't read it your missing out on a wonderful book. Michael Hoeye is an awesome author and he comes up with great names, ideas, and endings. While reading this book you will learn tons and I hope, enjoy it. Hermux is so neat and all of the characters are well explained. The ending is the best ending I have ever seen in a book, read The Sands Of Time too. I can't wait to read Michael Hoeye's next book!

Summary: An Exciting Thriller written well!
Review: Being more of a fantasy reader for a while, I decided to go back to mystery and picked up this book. It really is wonderful! It is well written and follows through to develop all of the characters very well. The wonderful thing is; you cannot determine what will happen as there are so many powerful twists and turns that will have you biting your lip as you read! A wonderful book for all ages, although the names are a bit tough to learn at first, they soon become part of the mystical charm that is Time Stops for No Mouse. Michael Hoeye is a wonderful writer who gives the reader detailed and vivid pictures of everything in the book, which makes for an even better one. A must read!

Summary: Couldn't Put the Book Down
Review: This is a delightful book by Michael Hoeye. It is about a mouse called Hermux Tantamoq who lives in a city populated by animals called Pinchcester. I loved this book because it was humourous at times while also telling things the way they are without making up anything. Since I loved this book I read the sequel, it's called The Sands of Time if you're interested. Mainly the plot is about how Hermux Tantamoq learns about life, time, and acceptance... and how to deal with it. I strongly urge you to take the time to read this book.

Summary: pure delight, a page turner
Review: I cuddled up with this book and read it in six (too short!)hours. A well written and delightful story, with subtle messages about love, courage, self-esteem and the sweetness of pure friendship. Our Portland, Oregon book group is discussing the book at our March meeting, and lucky us, the author will be our special guest that evening. I would recommend Time Stops for No Mouse as a gift for every birthday on your list, from the 10 year old to your 93 year old Aunt Mary. For sure, Michael Hoeye has a dear heart, and a best seller in his paws.

Summary: It's Probably Going to be Famous
Review: Like most of my favorites, I had no idea that this would be a good book. I just read it. By the time I was two pages into it, I knew that this wasn't going to be an ordinary book. Pretty much, the main story line goes like this: There is a city, called Pinchester, where the population consists of mice, rats, voles, chipmunks, squirrels...(you get the idea) and one of them is named Hermux Tantamoq. He is a watchmaker mouse and has a pretty much ordinary life, until one day, when Hermux is visited by Miss Perflinger, a young female mouse. She gives him a really torn up watch and her business card, which reads, "Ms. Linka Perflinger, Adventuress, Daredevil and Aviatrix, Bold Feats of Nerve and Verve, On Land and In the Air, Reasonable Rates, #3 Pickdorndle Lane, Pinchester." She tells him that the watch must keep perfect time. Even a second, she says, could mean the difference between life and death. That is the point where I couldn't stop reading, and read it (only stopping for homework, eating, etc) til the end. I was so sad that it ended that I had to get the sequel, which I am working on right now. I recommend the book for anyone 7 - adult. I loved it because of Michael Hoeye's touch. Some authors just give it their "touch" like Eva Ibbotson, Eoin Colfer, Roald Dahl, etc and Michael Hoeye fits right in.

Summary: Funny
Review: This book was fun to read. While it was almost 300 pages, the chapters were short, and it had a neat font. The details in the book are really good. The animals in this book are exactly like people. One of my favorite parts is when the lobby of the Apartment building gets redectorated to look like a crime scene.

Summary: Time Stops for No Mouse: An adventurous fantasy
Review: While reading Time Stops for No Mouse by Michael Hoeye it helps largely if you have an easy time imagining and picturing things in your head, because the characters are animals and they do some hard to picture things.
In this mystery/fantasy story, mouse watchmaker Hermux Tantamoq gets tangled up in a mystery involving the potion of youth. The event that starts it all is the arrival of acclaimed airplane flier Linka Perflinger in his watch shop. She leaves behind a beautiful watch which Tantamoq carefully repairs, and which Miss Perflinger never comes back for. Tantamoq is worried about her and starts a search, and at Linka's house he finds the diary of Dr. Dandiffer. Dandiffer was the mouse on the expedition to find the formula for youth, and his diary hints that the evil and sinister Dr. Hiril Mennus has kidnapped Linka and is trying to steal the youth formula for marketing purposes. Tantamoq sets out on a journey to find Linka and the formula for youth, and to stop Dr. Mennus with his friend Pup the reporter. Little does he know about the strange surprises that await him on his quest for truth.
I thought that this book was very good because of all of the intricate detail and description given to help you form a mental picture of what is happening in your mind. The only main fault that I could see is that at some points in the story it gets just a little too complicated and out of this world to understand and enjoy properly. If I had to rate this book on a scale of 1 to 10, I would give it a 7.5.
