Summary: Rats: A good example of a horror novel for older students!
Review: Paul Zindel's novel "Rats" is a gruesome, horrific, grisly story about killer rats. They are larger than normal sized rats, because of a chemical reaction at a landfill containing a buildup of methane gas underground. It is up to 15- year ol sarah Macafee and her 10- year old brother Michael to stop them. Zindel who is more widely known for his book "The Pigman", takes this novel to new heights and dimensions. The story is a nightmarish thriller that depicts gigantic rodents graphically devouring people. This book leaves nothing to the imagination! There is endless carnage page after page of gruesome details, numerous descriptions of bodily dismemberment, and jolts of horror. Zindel's style is fast paced and takes the reader on a roller coaster ride of horror. There is never a dull moment in this book. The plot is full of spine tingling, stomach-churning action. This book is a great motivator to get older students to read, adolescent readers will not be able to put this book down. This book is appropriate for children who are 11-14 years of age. This book IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR YOUNG CHILDREN AT ALL!! Teachers or parents may dislike this book, but students/teenagers (especially boys) will love it.

Summary: A gruesome book
Review: Rats by Paul Zindel was an ok book. The storylne was not very good. It was all about mutant rats killing the people of New York. It explained things into great detail. I thought that the story was very gruesome and I did not enjoy it. It would be good to read though if you liked horrror stories. I would recommend this book for people between the ages of 10-13.

Summary: Mutant rats threaten New York City.
Review: Sarah's an ordinary teenage girl who must take care of her brother Michael when her dad goes to investigate a series of mysterious deaths. As mutant rats begin to appear all over Staten Island, attacking people, and heading for the city, Sarah realizes everyone's in danger. Obviously, the gore and suspense were the scary things on the surface. But the part that was even more chilling is that this was a possible near future if we don't take care of the environment.

Summary: Max: Evil Rats Attack
Review: This book is about killer rats trying to take over New York City. Sara and here younger brother, Michael are trying to save the city but if the rats get them, New York will parish. Watch out for all the killer rats that might come after you!
I thought this book was really scary, and that parts were sad but also made my skin crawl.Rats is an adventure but at the same time a mystery. Rats really makes you feel that you are going to be attacked.
I would recomend this book to any one that loves a good blood and guts thriller. Its a book that will pull you in, and keep you in so you won't wan't to stop reading.
