This is not a book you read for the read. You read it to make you think. To look at themes and reality. Robert Cormier is an outstanding writer, and this book will hold you fast all the way through. It is a sad book, but it's supposed to be that way. When asked if he ever would write a happy book for young adults, Cormier is reported to have said no, that there are enough "happy" books out there, and kids need to have a taste of reality too. It is really well written, but is not meant to give you warm fuzzies.

I can't even begin to tell you how my 37 years on this planet have been plagued by cheese problems, not to mention cheese difficulties. I was at the end of my tether when a friend bought me this invaluable volume. Now my cheese problems are a thing of the past. For the first time I can lead a normal life, unfettered by dairy-related dilemmas. Thank you Mr McSweeney.

I loved this book as a small child - it now sits on my 5 year old daughter's shelf and is a regular bedtime favourite. Anatole, head cheese taster in the Fromagerie Duval, is disturbed at work one night by -quelle horreur - a cat. Discover how he and his assistant Gaston deal with the feline threat... The book is charmingly written, with lots of Parisian style and atmosphere, even down to the turn of phrase. Now I know it's still available I think various godchildren and small cousins will be getting a copy in due course!
