'Flushed Away' tells the story of a pampered, uptown rat named Roddy who is flushed down the toilet in his penthouse apartment and ends up in the London sewers. In the city of Ratropolis, he meets the streetwise Rita who tries to help him get back home.
I have no idea why I bought this book. I've never seen the original film, though I've been familiar with Aardman Animations for years; it was all the way back in the late nineties when my sister and brother-in-law, who are easily the biggest fans of British media I know, showed me the original Wallace & Gromit short films. Those were good...though I was very disappointed in that Curse of the Were-Rabbit flick, especially considering how much effort they must have put into making it.
While this was fairly well-written, it has one big problem: it was published only to make money. However, the publisher didn't get a cent from me for this, as I bought it at either a thrift store or garage sale. Honestly, the copy I have is so beat up, I'm going to throw it in the recycle bin once I finish this review.
