I loved this series when I was younger, bought the trilogy a few years later, and have recently remembered it on my bookcase! One element that stuck out to me as an older reader was the subtle yet powerful treatment of racism (speciesism?) through the animal characters:"Now hold on, Mr. Tantamoq. I'm a rat myself." "No, I didn't mean they were sneaky because they were rats. They were just sneaky in general!"///"I didn't realize that he was a mole.""What do you mean by that?""Well, Pup, you're aTurned out this book is not very re-readable, so I'm lowering my rating.Hoeye has come up with an intriquing premise (mice, you say? Of course they're not as boring as we have thought!). Sadly that impression only lasts as long as a few pages from the start, because these characters... are not mice, in much the same way Erin Hunter's animal characters are not cats or dogs.It's possible that I'm simply setting the bar too high after reading about these rabbity rabbits, but I like these kinds of
I enjoyed this one, but I did have to push through in the beginning third of the book. You know almost from the outset who the "damsel in distress" will be and you're already to cheer on the hero, when the plot takes a side trail. Ultimately you can see where the side trail leads but it wasn't quite as riveting as the beginning of the book.Book Talk: Linka Perflinger waltzed into Hermux Tantamoq watch repair shop. She left her watch for repair and stole his heart. Hermux knows how to fix the tic
This book was awesome! I think it's one my mom gave me ages ago and I assumed would be a silly kids book, but boy was I wrong about that. I picked it up because a challenge for one of my groups here said I needed to read a book featuring a mouse or a rat, since it is the Year of the Rat for the Chinese Calendar. And all the characters in this book are rodents of some type, with the main character being a mouse named Hermux Tantamoq. (P.S. The names in this book are my absolute favorite, they are
In the efforts of full disclosure, I'll preface this by saying that I read this book with the full knowledge that I would be giving it away, and I was reading it only to prove that I tried to like it. I also know that it is a children's book, but I will get into that later. Objectively, this book isn't bad. The best way I can think to describe it is organised rodent crime. The world is essentially our own, but instead of humans there are mice, rats, moles, otters, and so on. It requires you to
I guess I can't resist another mouse tale. Hermux Tantamoq is a mild-mannered work-a-day mouse who lives a quiet life working in his watch repair shop. Despite his apparent averageness, he has an extraordinary sense of optimism. When an exotic and beautiful aviatrix (you gotta love that word) drops off a mess of a watch, Hermux is smitten. He dutifully repairs her watch in a timely manner (nudge-nudge). But when she neglects to pick up the watch, Hermux begins to worry. He becomes especially
I adored reading about Hermux. The Hermux Tantamoq Adventures were some of the only books that I read to my younger brother that actually held his interest. The writing style is very engaging and the characters are fantastic. While there are definite lessons learned, the books aren't at all 'preachy' or boring. My brother used to get so excited for the next chapter, he would make necklaces with letter beads (his was Hermux, mine was Tucka). I would recommend this book, as well as the rest of the
