Very nice book, my favourite of the 3 with a superb twist at the end, well worth buying even if it is a little old now - kids will love it, i did when i read it a few years ago!

A great ending to a great trilogy. The fact that its about mice might stop people other than children reading it but it is so well written and developed that when you read it you cant put it down. The characters feel human whilst the twists and turns of the plot keep you surprised and guessing all the way to the end. If you want a few books for your kids then get this and the rest of the trilogy. My all time favourite childhood books.

Now here is an author who could have given the Greeks a lesson or two about tragedies. Robin Jarvis lives up to expectations by killing off a few main characters, so if you're thinking 'oh, a book about mice, I'll read it to my 7 year old' then forget it. This may be about mice but they happen to be in the middle of a war against an evil god, so don't expect a perfect ending where all the characters dance around a May pole, because this is Robin Jarvis and it's not gonna happen. This is a great book with a stunning finale, simmering tension and a cracking pace. You need to read the other two in the trilogy first, but get round to reading this because you won't be disappointed.

Easily the best in the Deptford Mice series

This book is definitely the best in the trilogy, even though the others have been very good. This one is special mostly because it's the final book, and that makes the ending seem more complete, but partly because it's just so good. The ending isn't at all predictable, because Robin Jarvis isn't known for sparing characters, so it could really be anything - it's a very good anything, though. The pace of it is fast and doesn't let up, but it's the atmosphere of tension that makes it a great read.

This is one of my favourite books ever! When I was at primary school, my friends and I were always arguing over could get the books first (since there was only 1 copy of the first two books in the library). So I went out and bought this one. You really need to read the other two books before you read this one so you can get an idea of the Deptford Mice: characters, the setting, etc. The book is about a group of mice who live together and have a series of adventures over the course of the 3 books. They're always trying to keep clear of the dangerous rats (who are very nasty in these books I might add) and the big cat. If you have a young child aged 9-12 then buy this book along with the other two and read it to them or let them have a go. Forget Harry Potter, these are the books that I think should be read in schools.
