Summary: You HAVE to READ this!!!...
Review: This book was soooo great! Along with other people, I wasn't too sure if the sequel to Time Stops For No Mouse would be as good as the first one. But it was. It had great suspense, and you really felt what the characters were feeling. It is a very refreshing change from the usual fantasy/spin on fairy tales that is popular. (Even though I like that stuff.) I don't really know what there is to not like about it; maybe just the fact that there are only two books about Hermux Tantamoq. I really like the fact that Michael Hoeye(anybody know how to pronounce his name?) added the "mythical CATS" to the story line. If you haven't read this book, you really SHOULD!!!!!!!! By the way, Time Stops For No Mouse is REALLY GREAT, too.

Summary: THIS IS THE GRATEST BOOK EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This little book continues the captivating adventures of Hermux Tantamoq. If you enjoyed `Time Waits for No Mouse,' then you'll love this too - and even if you haven't read about Hermux before, this is the kind of sequel that doesn't require an in-depth knowledge of the first book.
Talking mice aren't to everyone's taste. In recent years, anthropomorphised creatures have become much less fashionable - but this book may change your mind. However, I think the cover-art on both books has let the author down, as the modern, stylised, garish pictures give no hint of the charm and whimsy within.
The book is divided into many small chapters of 1 - 3 pages, which makes it the ideal bedtime story book. To ensure pleasant dreams, I prescribe one chapter before bedtime, to be taken every night until completed.
May your tail grow long - and all your squeaks be little ones!

Summary: I loved this sequal
Review: This stunning sequal to Time Stops for No Mouse, both by Michael Hoeye, is by far one of the greatest sequals I have ever read. It possesses a cunning plot, with a great story to accompany it. It has all the wonderful components for a wonderful read, let alone a literary accomplishment. Hoeye is an awesome writer, who creates beautiful ictures for the mind. Surely atisfactory for any reader.

Summary: The Sands of Time
Review: Watchmaker-extraordinaire and resident cheese lover, Hermux Tantamoq, is in for the surprise of his life, when his good friend, Mirrin Stentrill, reveals the scandalous work being featured in her new art show: cats! After all, mice don't want to hear about cats, even if they never actually existed, and the entire town of Pinchester is up in arms over the showing. Then a long lost stranger known as Birch Tentintrotter, a chipmunk, visits Hermux and lets him in on a very important secret: cats DID exist, and Birch has the facts to prove it. So, on a split second decision, Birch, Hermux, and he lovely aviatrix, Linka Perflinger, set out to the desert to find the lost Kingdom of Cats. While there, Hermux learns many new things about the history of mice, things different than what he was taught as a child, and he begins wondering whether it is really necessary to bring these truths forward.
As a fan of the first Hermux Tantamoq novel, TIME STOPS FOR NO MOUSE, I knew that I had to check out Michael Hoeye's latest contribution to the series, THE SANDS OF TIME, and I was not at all disappointed. Young Hermux is as adorable as ever, in his quest to find out about the lost civilization known as cats; and his sidekicks, both new and old, are perfect. The wonderful story that has been crafted will delight readers of all ages, and keep them begging for more Tantamoq. A must have!
