5.0 out of 5 stars One Fantasic book, 12 Jan 2006
By Georgio (Swindon) - See all my reviews
I absolutley LOVED this book. When i first got it, it was soooooo looking foward to it. Alan Snow is a brilliant aurthor. Anyone who sent in a bad review is a nutter! I loved the part where Tom and Kipper control the doll using Grandfathers invention, and the part where the gianormous rat explodes and covers everywhere with cheese. J.K.Rowling, move aside because Alan Snow is here!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!, 30 Oct 2005
It's really great. It's exciting and imaginative. There are loads of wacky ideas and really strange creatures. I liked the pirates who get stuck in the canal and start a laundry. At first I thought I wouldn't like it because it's a really thick book but once I started reading it, I wanted to know what happened in the end. I loved the drawings, especially the War Rat. I can't wait for the next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars More boxtrolls please Mr Snow, 21 Jan 2006
By A Customer
We initially picked up this book because of the wonderful illustrations, and were delighted to find that the story and characters were just as enjoyable. Inventiveness and humour spring from the page, and the story cracks along at a good pace, too: the whole book is a joy to read. Please, Mr Snow, may we have more adventures of Arthur and his friends? Especially Tom and Kipper... and most especially of all Fish the boxtroll.

5.0 out of 5 stars One-way ticket to Ratbridge, please!
I was convinced to buy this book merely by the cover illustration. The sheer absurdity of a small being in a tatty box enticed my sense of intregue and I ordered it the next day... Read more
