Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2010
The sequel to the wonderful classic story Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH - widely enjoyed by children and adults, is a great follow up which I recommend to all fans of the original book. While not nearly as incredible as the first, I still give this one a four star rating, and just like the first one, many adults will also enjoy this title, which I read years later after originally reading the first book in early Junior High. I picked up and read the original again as an adult, then when I realized their was a sequel (there is also a third book in the series as well), I had to find out if it was any good. I was pleased.
I also enjoy the subtle but detectable and obviously intentional social and political commentary in both the original and this book, which spawns out of the rats' community which represents a microcosm of society.
I recommend the title to any fan of the original - to those who have not read the original, you should if you are a child or an adult. If you like NIMH, you will like this one as well.
