""Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH" is an incredible book!!! I fell in love with the movie as a child and thought it was about time that I read the book that the movie is based on, and it did not disappoint!!! The book has so many new details that the movie did not have time to capture. Even though this is technically a children's book, it was extremely diverse and felt like it was targeted at all ages. I would suggest this book to anyone who loved the movie and/or enjoys sci-fi themes and stories from animal's perspectives!!!"

"I was surprised that most of this book was written as a flashback, which is a bummer. <br/><br/>Rated G"

"Wasn't a big hit for me. Nothing specific that made it as such, but was glad when it was over, and never really felt into it to begin with."

"Yes! I grew up loving the movie, have shared it with my kids and it's a house favorite. We read the book for the first time and *tears what a touching story! and far different from the plot of the movie"

"Even though its a children's book I was very invested in the story. The rats background was way more in depth than I would of thought. 10/10 reccomend "
