Tailchaser's Song

Rating:
Summary: Among the best...
Review: Tailchaser's Song has been one of my favorite books, and I have read it four times, since I first bought it two years ago. While it is often compared to Watership Down, the two are really nothing alike aside from the obvious animal-themed similarities. The characters are endearing and their troubles frightening enough to cause the reader to worry, but there is enough humor to keep it from becoming grim. The ending comes as a surprise, also, which is becoming more and more rare these days. All in all, a truly worthwhile read and enough to make even an ardent cat-hater think twice.

Summary: One of the best fantasy novels--up there with Tolkien!
Review: I just read this wonderful book on the heels of Gabriel King's new novel, "The Wild Road", which I really loved. This one was truly special as well, and there are certainly parallels one can draw between the two. The idea of the quest, the journey from innocence to experience, the coming of age of the main character in each novel-- very well done. The characters themselves were quite completely realized, too--although I think that Gabriel King managed to pull this off a bit better, through the use of really interesting , often humorous dialogue which certainly revealed each individual character. I loved the cat language Tad Williams created, and the way he enables the reader to truly see the world through a cat's sensibilities. (e.g. distance always is referred to in "jumps.") As with "The Wild Road," I felt hungry for a sequel to this remarkable book!

Review: A spledid tale that I read again and again. One of my absolute favorites and a must read for anyone who read and enjoyed Watership Down (Tailchaser's Song is even better).

Summary: Tailchaser's Song, "Nre'fa-o Cu'nre"
Review: Nre'fa-o Cu'nre (hello friends).If you love cats or, just a good adventure story, this is the book for you! "Tailchaser's Song" captures the very essence of a cat and puts it in words. The way the languages are spoken is an amazing detail. Everything happens for a reason, and it's never to take up space! When Fritti Tailchaser visited cat hell I felt so bad for the cats. I could almost smell the stench of death on every page, while reading that part. I could feel the premonition that Tailchaser felt, the os (wrongness) of the situation, and the evil creatures. It is amazing how Williams works up a legend and weaves it into this "song" of a young tomcat. This book was incredible, had I been sitting down while reading it I would have been on the edge of my seat. It also has a very unexpected ending. Well, Mri'fa-o (good night)

Summary: NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE THIS BOOK
Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read. Truly amazing. This is a book that I never want to stop reading. I want to be IN the book, even through all of Tailchaser's horrors. All of the characters are so realistic, as I watch my own two cats live and play. This book is amazing, superb, spectacular, wonderful! One of the greatest books of all time.

Summary: ONE OF THE BEST STORIES EVER WRITTEN!!
Review: This book was recommended to me by a friend who probably reads about as much as I do. H e knew that I would enjoy it because I love cats, but this goes way beyond just being a "cat story". I was so wrapped up in Tailchaser's quest to find Hushpad, that I couldn't put the book down. Three hours & two very tired eyes later, I was exhausted. When Fritti went into Cat Hell & saw what was going on, I felt as if I were right there with him. My heart broke as I read of the cats' enslavement, & I had to hug my cat close as I pictured her trapped for eternity digging holes with her little paws! I find that the story was very original & it is a book that I have read several times since I first picked it up about 5 years ago. I would recommend it to any one who loves a good story, even if you don't like cats. If anything, cat haters would love to see the cats in hell. A definite fantastic book in my estimation.

Summary: Wonderfully creative...A fantastic book!
Review: Nre'fa-o (Hello). As soon as I laid my eyes on this book, I knew it would be a great one. I was glued to it immediately for I love animals and especially cats. This book allows you to understand that our four-footed friends possess their own secrets lives and languages hidden from view of M'an. This book became an instant classic and my favorite when I read it. Tangaloor Firebright / Flamefoot, Farthest Walker / Your Hunter Speaks / In Need He Walks / In Need But Never In Fear
