This book was pretty good. I liked the fanasy of the animals who got injections and got smarter and a longer life span. Mrs.Frisby is a good character in the book who is just now finding out about her deceased husband as she goes for help from the rats of NIMH. Her son Timothy is sick with pnemonia and Mrs.Frisby has to move so she goes to the rats for help and every thing changes in the life of this simple living mouse. From getting cought by the farmers son to dealing with a adgatated neighbor this book is exsiting to the very last sentance. I highly recomed this book for people of all ages!
