Pick this book up and you will not be able to put it down. After you finish it, do not feel sad. No. Go out and get the others in the story line. Enough to fill the winter nights ahead.

O as red dis bukk, even tho O ad diffikulty acoz O beez a mowle. Howevva, O didd manidge et! O thort et woz gurtly gudd! Privet woz my great grandmother. O duz rekomend dis bukk to enny utha mowles.

A very good book! You gotta read 'em all

O luvd dis bukk to pesses. O av askuverd dat O bes part mowle. O wull travull de wuld wursheppung de Stones furr evva an evva!

It is sad that a writer as gifted as William Horwood chose to stoop to writing a series that depicts the Bible and Jesus Christ in such a way. In his first Duncton triology he has moles following the faith of "the Word" as his antagonists, in this book a mole is martyred and executed as Jesus Christ was. This book, like the others in the series, makes an excellent secular fantasy read - the plot is really captivating and the prose is excellently written. However, his plagiatism and blasphemy of the Bible is inexcusable - instead of creating a relevant faith for his moles he had to go and twist the Christian faith around. Other than this major blodge, this is a good read.
