Tailchaser's Song

[Ezyeb]

Saw the board about Watership Down and I thought, "Well, what about Tad William's book?" It's a little similar in the way it's written, but I found it much more interesting, and it moved quickly. It, like Watership Down (and Richard Adam's The Plague Dogs) is definitely an adult book, many, many disturbing scenes and crude humour, but otherwise... very entertaining.

It's about a cat who goes off on an epic journey to save his friend, and the strange characters he meets along the way are incredibly intruiging. It's completely fantasy, and Tailchaser himself is just much too loveable.

Anyone else read it? I really, really suggest it--even if you're not a fan of animals or animal literature, it's a brilliant book.

Okay,
so...
is it similar to Watership down in that the cat does cat-like things...
...and doesn't do things a cat wouldn't normally do?
(I guess what I'm trying to ask is, does it maintain a bit of realism to it even if it is from a cat's point of view?)

Ohay, I read that!

I've never met anyone else who has though o.O
in like 6th grade I went through an animal book obsession phase, I read that, Watership down and Fire bringer.

I barely remember it, but the underground hive place scared me

I liked it, but vaguely remember the book.

I was reminded by it lately by the Warriors books, which I feel is a ripoff of some good stories.
