 What happened in Hamelin March 4, 2004
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book provides an interesting take on the Pied Piper story that I found enjoyable. I especially enjoyed the historical perspective the author brought to the book, providing details about how life might have been in a medieval town at that time - and in a way that was easily understandable for a young teenager (which is when I first read the book).
A Twist on the Pied Piper March 12, 2002
This is a great book. When Gast(the piper)comes to Hamelin, he befriends Geist, a badly treated baker's servant. Gast thinks up a plan to rid Hamelin of disease-carrying rats. When the citizens refuse to pay Gast, he takes revenge on the city's children. This book is based on the Pied Piper story, but has enough of a twist to make it suspenseful and interesting. I very strongly recommend this book.

This is my review on the book: What Happend In Hamelin. I have to read this book for my English class and let me tell you....this is boring. I'm almost finished with it but I swear that to get through the book you have to think about something else! Giest and Gast were the most unorigianal characters an author could have the nearve to create. The rest of the characters (Master Hermann, Hilde ect.) are also boring characters. I've read many good books, and this is not one of them. The children killing rats idea I thought was sending younger kids a bad message,saying that it's okay to kill rats so they will stop invading your stupid little town. One piece of advice: Don't buy this book and get some other GOOD book that is worth your read!
