Summary: A great book for cat lovers and fantasy lovers alike
Review: I am only in the middle of this, but so far it is the best book I have EVER read. And I've read a lot of books! Not only does it have a touch of fantasy which I enjoy, but it has cats which I LOVE! If you love fantasy and adventure books, read it. If you love cats, read it. I give this book 4 paws up!

Summary: Another Stupid cat book.
Review: I guess if you LOVE cats you might find this book tolerable. It is more interested in beating you over the head about how wonderful cats are than telling a meaningful story. An overly obvious take of on Watership Down except it is more interested in promotion of the "humanity" of kitty cats than in storytelling.Fritti is one of the shallowist fantasy characters in a long time. Provides a pethetic mouthpiece for the promotion of "kitty cat philoshpy" AVOID AVOID AVOID

Summary: A Tale of Feline Adventure
Review: Writer, Tad Williams, reveals the life of a young tom cat named Fritti Tailchaser. From kittenhood to a much wiser adult, Frittis' search for the female named Hushpad leads him into desperate trials. His ultimate encounter with Lord Hearteater, (the Evil One) for example. He also makes friends on his journey, as with the squirrels called Rikchikchiks. I believe this exciting story is about the need for freedom, and the constant struggle to remain free. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Pretty good book
Review: This book is good to read when there isn't anything else to do, like when you're bored and stuff. It's worth the price, but just barely. If you need a book to read and can't find anything else, this would be a good book to get. I didn't quite understand just WHAT the villians were, but I don't think that was the fault of the book. A very strange book, but worthwhile

Summary: A cat lover's book - one you will re-read over and over!
Review: My copy is tattered and torn - a favorite re-read. The author KNOWS cats, their behaviour and body language, and very possibly how they think! This adventurous "TAIL" is full of suspense. The characters are extremely well developed and you will love each and every one. You will learn squirrel language and more! A marvelous source of unusual cat names - I have a "Pouncequick" too!!

Summary: Precursor to Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn - still good
Review: I read Tad Williams' Memory Sorrow and Thorn trilogy years before reading Tailchaser's Song, and was continually struck at how much of what he did in Tailchaser was reused in Memory Sorrow and Thorn. They are different stories, yet it is neat to see how the author has continued to develop some of his earlier ideas and worked them into a greater piece as his skills improve. More specific to this novel, Tailchaser's Song is a wonderful tale of adventure and coming into one's own. The personal ethics expressed in this story are rather unique in the fantasy world. The values are real and are not based on some extrodinary gift of the character (which typically separates the reader from the character), but on a choice and dedication to what is right. Williams does a wonderful job of spinning this tale and keeping interest. Parts of it are predictable, but there are few (if any) let downs. The most impressive feature of the book, and what really makes it stand out, is the perspective. The main character is a cat, and the whole world is cleverly shown through a cat's eyes. It is very believable, and makes you look at your own pet differently -- with more respect, even. This is a great book for anyone who likes adventure or fantasy stories. Tad Williams fans will feel at home, and cat lovers will delight in the telling of the tale.

Summary: Brilliant
Review: When I saw what the book was about it reminded me of a child's book. How wrong I was. Since I love cats this was the book for me. It had a lot of humor and I couldn't put it down.

Summary: This book is so good!!!!!
Review: This is actually the first book I have ever read where as I was reading it I liked it so much I decided that I would read it as slow as I could so that I wouldn't finish it too quickly...which was hard. I was so sad when I was finished but I liked th ending. Fritti and Roofshadow and Pouncequick are cool characters - you'll love them!!! :) :) :) :)

Summary: An excellent novel for all fantasy fans!
Review: "Tailchaser's Song" was given to me for Christmas and has been my favorite book for years. I read my first copy so many times the cover fell off. <G> The imagery and description are great--you actually feel as though you're in the tale, living all of the events. There is enough humor in the story to make it light-hearted and realistic, but not so much that you can't take the story seriously. The best part, in my opinion, is "cat hell"--the descriptions of the dank catacombs, brutal guards, and the enveloping hopelessness of the atmosphere make me shudder every time I read the book. The ending comes as a huge surprise, and the climax of the story still makes me grit my teeth. <G> Even though the back cover compares it with "Watership Down", the two are very different (for example, WD takes place in a more human-oriented world; the cats in TCS are not influenced by people like the rabbits in WD are.). A VERY good read, even if you hate cats. =)
