Summary: Tailchaser's Song is an incredible cat book. Two dewclaws up
Review: Tailchaser's Song, written by Tad Williams, is one of the best books
I have ever laid eyes on. It is nearly everything I want a book to
be, and has inspired me in many ways, such as writing and drawing.
I'm not much for blunt endings that leave it to the reader's imagination
because I want to know the author's ending, and even though it seems
obvious what Williams intends to happen, I think it's nicer to have a
pro's details in writing. The plot is similar to Waterhip Down, but
don't be caught off guard; it has an unexpected and interesting twist in
the middle and towards the end, forming a unique, attractive tale that I
love reading time and again.

Summary: my adventure in the second-hand bookstore
Review: i frequent second-hand bookstores, being a booklover with a college student's budget. while scanning the shelves about a week ago, my eye fell on the spine of this book, and i noticed the design similarity to "watership down," my favorite book. i pulled it out, looked at the cover, the map, and the index of characters, thinking to myself, "great. someone took watership down and changed all the rabbit references to cat." however, upon flipping through the book, i was impressed by tad williams' fluid style, and i added the book to my stack. i read this book, and was floored. it's absolutely marvelous, filled with adventure and mysticism. i also highly recommend tad's "memory, sorrow, and thorn" trilogy, the first book of which i got the same day. tad rules

Summary: An excellent book
Review: Tad Williams has managed to give the Watership Down tradition a whole new energy. This book is about cats... cats and their hopes, cats and their religions, cats and their ledgends. It holds everything necessary to great literature, incorporating a complex but linear quest with an underlying spirituality(and even a buried message about animal captivity that fails wonderfully to detract from the story.) A very good book

Summary: Fantastic!!
Review: Tailchaser's Song is one of the best stories I have
ever read. Marvelous storytelling, supreme adventure, Tail
chaser and his friends are so believeable. It's hard to
believe that I found it for sale in a used bookstore. Who would want to give it up? Redwall and Watership Down have
finally met their match!!!

Summary: An interesting story, but becomes a little tedious.
Review: Much different from the average Fantasy Tale. It has all
the main components, but all characters are animals. At
first this twist was enough to keep it fresh enough to
read on, but by 2/3rd through the book this premise wore
a bit thin and the faults of the storyline began to show
through. Underneath the feline facade, the story is an
average one, not really all that exciting or suprising,
and definitely not one of the more interesting in the
fantasy genre.

Summary: The greatest cat-fantasy book!
Review: This is the book that got me into fantasy, into novels, into all the books I know and love (including the Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn series). I have read it more times then I can count, and read it still. Everyone can understand this book, cat-people even more.
It is about a cat named Fritti Tailchaser who goes searching for his mysteriously vanished friend,
Hushpad. Hushpad isn't the only cat to dissapear out of thin air, however, so Fritti's clan sent a
delegation of cats to the Court of Harar, where the Queen of Cat resides, to ask for help in this
situation. Fritti decides to follow them, and is followed himself several times by terrifying creatures he isn't
able to glimpse. When he gets there, he finds out that the delegation never reached the Court, and
that a terrifying new mound has been raised northeast of Firsthome-- the Vastnir Mound. Unknown to anyone in the world above, this mound is the home of a hideous cat-god, Grizraz
Hearteater, and his greusome minions, who have their own plan for Tailchaser's world.
If you read and love the book, you may want to go to http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/6159 , a page dedicated to Tailchaser's Song!

Summary: Purrfect plot
Review: I must say that I had a bit of a hard time getting into this book at first. Nothing about it really grabbed me but not quite half way through the book it took off and held me with it. At the end, again, I had a hard time sticking with it but was glad I did. Lots of action, humor, love, friendship, loyalty. Good book, even if you are not a cat lover
