Description In Pursuance Of Books Tailchaser's Song
Meet Fritti Tailchaser, a ginger tom cat of rare courage and curiosity, a born survivor in a world of heroes and villains, of powerful feline gods and whiskery legends about those strange furless, erect creatures called M’an.“The hour of Unfolding Dark had begun, and the rooftop where Tailchaser lay was smothered in shadow. He was deep in a dream of leaping and flying when he felt an unusual tingling in his whiskers. Fritti Tailchaser, hunterchild of the Folk, came suddenly awake and sniffed the air. Ears pricked and whiskers flared straight, he sifted the evening breeze. Nothing unusual. Then what had awakened him? Pondering, he splayed his claws and began a spine-limbering stretch that finally ended at the tip of his reddish tail.”
Join Tailchaser on his magical quest to rescue his catfriend Hushpad on a quest that will take him all the way to cat hell and beyond.

I'm always on the hunt for a good cat story. I was really looking forward to reading this one. It is acclaimed and loved by many, many people. It is well written and very well imagined. The author does a good job capturing kitty antics. I very much enjoyed reading about the relationships between the cats and the relationships between the cats and the other animals. It's a very interesting story that happens to be out of my genre so I guess that is why I found difficulty following the plot. IAnother long ago read that I can't quite remember. I did own it but lent it out and never saw it again. I have mental images of a cat with red claws, evil cats with chilling graveyard breath, and a climactic showdown involved a Jabba-the-Hut-sized evil cat god. I think I cried, too, but I can't remember why or for what...need to read this again.
Considering the human obsession with cats, this is an obvious book to write; but at the same time it takes courage to write it becuase it is so easy to fail. I think that as a 40-50 page story it would have been wonderful, but as a 300+ pages novel it starts to drag after 100 pages or so. I found myself reading it just to finish it, which is a sentiment I don't like.The main characters are very engaging and the overall cat mindset and culture is is very well handled. The story itself is a bit
I loved this book! I will definitely re-read this novel many times. My only problem with the book was the underlying theme of "cats are meant to be wild/strays", which is the kind of thought pattern that has contributed to the terrible overpopulation and mass amount of stray cats which exist in the world. It does seem obvious to me that Tad Williams does not actually know very much about cats. That being said, viewing this book as fantasy (ie. not real life), I loved the story. Tad Williams
It has been a while since I have read this book. . .probably 7 or more years. . .yet I still find myself comparing other books to it. I believe some people are being overcritical of certain aspects of the book and are actually overlooking the fact that its supposed to be from a cat's point of view, not a human's. Not one of us can say that we know what cats think or know, so there's no point in getting upset with a book because it is speculating on such things. You will lose sight of the true
i am a book thief.this is not to say that i steal books from bookstores or libraries (although i considered performing a superheist at the morgan to get all their byron books with his notes in the margins)but when i was twelve, i borrowed this book from someone. and i never gave it back. shocking, right?? even more shocking is that i do not regret it. "my" copy is fat, with sprouted, swollen pages soft to the touch, and has been read at least twenty times. the copies they sell nowadays have some
Really enjoyed this one and... It's my 90th book this year! I have met my 2017 reading goal!When I saw this one at work I could immediately tell it was like the Warriors books (which I read almost all of) and I got so excited. It was really wonderful <3
