Summary: As much fun as Watership Down - but with kitties.
Review: Great characterizations and plot. From cats to squirrels, they came alive. A very fun ride.

Summary: Great
Review: This book was very good. It gave a different view of the world through another spieces eyes. The Cats had their own religion, language and names for themselves. I was so caught up in the book that I finished it in 4 days. I wish there was a sequal(or if there is can someone tell me what its called?), I didn't want it to end. By the way, the guy from Oregon is a moron, and if he doesn't like these kinds of books then why is he buying them?

Summary: A charming little story
Review: I first read this book when it was published, and have reread it at least five times since. No, it is not the most complex of stories, and no, it doesn't have the depth of 'Watership Down'...but, still it remains a favorite. It is a sweet, charming book, and one that lingers on despite it's seeming simplicity. If you have read it and loved it, you'll no doubt understand what I mean. A beautiful, gentle tale, one I keep in hardcover with my very favorite books.

Summary: DRIBBLE
Review: This was written either with little old ladies or children in mind. CHILDISH. Like Cutsie Whootsie. Too much ridiculous detail and stupid talk and ignorant names for themselves, places and events. What a waste of paper.UNINTERESTING to say the least.

Summary: An enduring favourite
Review: I really can't remember how long ago it was that I first read this. I think probably when it first came out in paperback. I couldn't have been older than nine or ten, and it immediately became one of my favourite books. I'm turning twenty, and it still is. I like cats, and have identified two of mine in the story, but that's only part of why I liked it. As has been mentioned before, the characters, the completeness of their world, the power of the writing. There were a few things that weren't quite explained to my satisfaction--the ending, what had happened to Tailchaser's family--but overall I loved this story and didn't want it to end. It isn't a kid's story by any means--I was reading it last night and Vastnir spooked me more than it had when I was younger. I've bee through two copies, lent it to dozens of people. Everyone should read this one.

Summary: It's not Watership Down, but it doesn't need to be
Review: I've read "Tailchaser's Song" several times, and I still enjoy it. I won't try and compare it to "Watership Down" really, because there's not much point. "Song" is fantasy--completely. "Down" really isn't. "Song" is a shallower book--it does not have the depth or the language. I'd recommend it, but I wouldn't place too many expectations on it. Enjoy it for what it is: an adventure.

Summary: This book holds meaning for all ages of people.
Review: The first time I read it was as a child, but the depth of the story grows as I grow and reread this book. Anything that contributes to a child's growth and still effects that child when they've grown into an adult, must be good. If you have an imaginative child, one that cares for good stories, animals, and magic of any kind, get this book for them.
Rating:
Summary: An excellent book for cat- and fantasy-lovers.
Review: Tailchaser's Song is an excellent book about a ginger tomcat who leaves the place of his birth to find Hushpad, a pretty white queen whom Tailchaser loved. When Tailchaser finds her, she has changed and he no longer desires her. His desires had changed. I loved this book and could never put it down until I had read it all the way through. This story is unusual, but fascinating.

Summary: couldn't finish the book
Review: This is one of the few books I was unable to finish. I love fantasy and cats, and this book was a disservice to both. Perhaps the story improved after the first sixty pages, but I wasn't willing to suffer through any more of the book to find out.
