Book Reviews of Stuart Little
Book Review: Dull family classic
Summary: 2 Stars
The second son of the Little family turns out to be a mouse, whom they nevertheless name Stuart and raise as their own. I was somewhat underwhelmed by this family classic. Stuart's "adventures," such as riding on a toy boat and going down a drain, are related briefly and dully, without developing much tension or excitement. The characters are unfailingly stiff and polite with each other; even the interaction between family members often comes off like conversations between strangers at a cocktail party. The Little family's treatment of Stuart seems quite neglectful as well. Mr. Little, in particular, seems to think nothing of sending his little son into potentially dangerous situations, such as down a drainpipe to fetch a ring. At one point, the book describes how it becomes Stuart's job to go inside the piano while it is being played and hold on to a key that sticks, even though doing so subjects him to loud noises that affect his hearing for hours afterward.Book Review: E.B. White is Great; Stuart Little not so great.
Summary: 3 Stars
I read Stuart Little to my daughter in preparation for going to see the movie. At times the book was difficult for a 6 year old to understand. Stuart in the book is not as loveable as I had hoped he would be. Instead of being a cute little mouse, he is more like a little man, and not very appealing after a bit of reading. I've never suggested this before...but if this is for a child...skip the book, see the movie.Book Review: Good book, bad ending
Summary: 3 Stars
I enjoyed this book, but I didn't really enjoy the ending. The beginning and middle were well written, the characters were well thought out. The boat race was probably the most exciting part. The ending was poorly written. However, EB White was suffering from hypochondria, and this is why he ended the book so abruptly and never wrote a sequel. He could have written one, but was suffering from this illness. I prefer the movie, very sadly, in this one instance.Book Review: I want to be a mouse!
Summary: 5 Stars
Stuart Little is an energetic, funny mouse who can even teach school. He is able to do many things because of his small size. What happens when he sails a toy ship? How did he get a ring out of a drainpipe? To find out, read Stuart Little. This book made me wish I was a mouse.
The above review was written by my 9-year-old son. He has read the book three times already, and enjoys it every time.
