Title: attack on rats
Review: This is an obvious attack on rats. If you notice the funding for the book, it's from big exterminator companies who want to make people fear rats. Rats get a bad rap, they're blamed for starting the plague (it was actually fleas), are thought of as dirty, repugnant, hoarding creatures and are hunted for their fur. I'm no big fan of rats but I met a guy in Russia who loved and studied them (unfortunately he was bitten by a rabid one and died of fever later). He taught me that rats are just animals in the diverse natural world. He lived with thousands of them and they were very lovable. Of course he wasn't the best smelling guy. He even gave me an albino rat, who later was crushed in my bag when it was mishandled on the train.Books like this are not doing rats any favors so please keep an open mind and a big piece of cheese for them.
