Tailchaser's Song

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful Adventure
Review: Ever wonder why you're cat absolutely has to go out at night? Ever wonder what adventures they get into? Mr. William's story is an instant classic. You can definately tell it's his first book, but what a treat. I can only my first effort is half as good as this. An excellent book for children of all ages.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: Tad Williams sets out to a great start, but after I was about half way through the book became stagnant and uninteresting. I like the idea of humans having evolved from cats (I love cats !!) and initially found the characters and their stories captivating. But Tad Williams just slows down and comes to a screeching halt somewhere near the middle, and I couldn't get myself to continue reading.

Summary: A Cat's Adventure
Review: A most wonderful and charming "tail," this book will completely absorb you in the view of the world through a cat's eyes. Fritti Tailchaser, a young tomcat coming of age is absorbed into the supernatural dealings of the cat gods themselves when he embarks on a quest to locate his missing friend, Hushpad. Tad Williams conveys the politics and mythology of cats through this great odyssey. Also helpful is the included glossary of cat-language pronunciation and definations as well as the included list of characters. A wonderful story, if you aren't a cat lover, you may change your mind by the end of this book!

Review: Let me first begin to say that I have never enjoyed a book like this one before and I wish that there was a sequel to look forward too.:-( If you adore cats like I do, then you will be impressed with the genius writing of Tad Williams! WOW, does he know cats. Everynight before going to bed, I would read this book for hours not caring that it was 1:30am and that I had to be up in four hours to get ready for work. His story takes you on a journey that is funny, exciting, unknowing, sad and loving. When I was finally through reading this story I was absolutely balling! I wont tell you why, but I can say that I will never forget the ending for as long as I shall live. Read it! It's simply AMAZING!

Summary: Very Good Fantasy Tale
Review: This charactors in this book could easily be subsituted for human charactors. If have read Tad Williams Memory Sorrow & Thorn series you will see a lot of similarities. Don't let the cats on the cover scare you away this is just a straight up fantasy story using cats instead of people.

Summary: Coolest Kitty Book!
Review: My friend let me borrow this book, and I liked it so much I got a copy for myself! Tad Williams excellently tells the story of a brave tomcat named Fritti Tailchaser who goes on a dangerous mission to rescue his best friend. I like the book because the ending was a very nice surprise. I really didn't want it to end. I was so sad when I finished! Overall, if you had a choice of books, grab this on first!

Summary: wonderful!
Review: I read this book for the first time in seventh grade after four consecutive readings of Watership Down, one of my all-time favorite novels. What I loved about Tailchaser was the way I never wanted the book to be over. True, the ending leaves a lot open to the imagination, but then most of the best books do. It is ripe for a sequel, but I'm more content to imagine the further adventures of Fritti and Roofshadow than read about them. Sequels, I have found, are usually a disappointment.

Summary: It was his first book...
Review: Tailchaser's Song was an okay book. Nothing exceptional, or poor, just okay. The characters were good, and the plot wasn't bad, but a few plot threads were loose and the ending didn't resolve everything that it was supposed to. Also, the cat culture is not so realistic as it might have been. Tad Williams is good, though. The Otherland series is REALLY well done. For a good fantasy about cats, try The Book of Night with Moon by Diane Duane.
