Book Reviews of The Tale of Despereaux: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup, and a Spool of Thread
Book Review: great, but the movie was better
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this after I saw the movie... the movie ended more satisfyingly... the end here is as if the author got tired suddenly.
Still, it was a nice read... from the movie, I was and remain a tremendous Despereaux fan.... I would give the DVD to someone first before I would give them the book, though.
It is a good book for children. Not too scary, and, I suppose, with a pleasant satisfying-enough ending.
