Book Rating
The movie is better
So the 10 yr old in me (who never finished the book) would have rated this a one. That's unfair however, because it would have only been based on the fact that it was sort of like the movie, and there was none of the movies mysticism. (I still want to know what that dang red stone is all about.)
 That being said the older and mature me rated it a 6 because about 30 pages of interesting history about the Rats of NIMH, were mostly unneeded summary. I realize that the book is meant for young audiences I also gave points off for overly explaining an object or idea. ex: "tin foil (or aluminum foil)" this happens frequently. For a book about animal testing and super intelligent rats, I guess the author could have a point.
This is a good book for young readers that wants to read something that isn't overly scary that has male and female heroes.
The story itself is good. I may never read this book again, although I will recommend it.
