Marathons are really tiring. I've tried it once but i know I'll never try it again. I was so sweaty after that run . in this book bruce hyena signed Geronimo for the Mouse Island Marathon in which all the rodents of new mouse city will be participating. his family also joined him and they tried to make sure that Geronimo puts his paw on the finish line.I rated it a 4 because if bruce hyena isn't there Geronimo doesn't actually do anything crazy. my favourite character is Benjamin because he was really helpful in this book and tried to help Geronimo finish the marathon he gave him some water and food. my favourite part was when Geronimo was chased by the giant cat because it was so funny to see him run like he never ran before. Felinus was a humongous cat .

I liked this book. This book was about how Geronimo Stilton ran a marathon and in the marathon he saw a lot of people that wanted help so he helped them. Then at the end he came in 1st place in the Marathon.

Eh. Some of these Stilton books are great (Mummy with no Name), some (like this one) are just lame. My 6yo wanted to know how SO MANY things could happen in so short a time period (fire, earthquake, diving off bridge, etc) with 1 the race no being cancelled and 2) Geronimo winning when he's not that great a runner AND saved all these people. So crazy unrealistic a 6yo thought it was not even interesting. On top of which, it comes with preachy health tips in the back. *Sigh*--I am not reading them to my kid.

SUPER SHORTY

I did enjoy this book. I really did. I loved the humor and the wits of the characters. And also the huge plot.

The problem is maybe I'm too old for this kind of books.

Still, very nice read.

One of my favorite Geronimo Stilton books

[Patricia Giménez · Rating 5 out of 5]

El libro es bastante interesante, entretenido y bueno, si por la tarde estás aburrido y te pones a leerlo bas a estar muy entretenido y te dan ganas de seguir leyendo. A mí me a gustado mucho, me gusta mucho que es para todas las edades que no tiene un límite de edad sino que lo puede leer todo el mundo. El libro es genial y las ilustraciones son muy buenas. Lo recomiendo esta bastante bien y no te aburre.

Sigue corriendo a pesar de que tengas el cuerpo roto y vengan mil temporales y además sé salvador de todo el mundo. Gran mensaje para comenzar a adoctrinar bajo el yugo del capitalismo. Los consejos de salud del final criticando, entre otras cosas, a los cuerpos gordos?? Lamentable. La serie de Geronimo es muy llamativa para iniciarse en la lectura, y no sé sobre el resto de libros, pero cuidado con algunos mensajes.

[Alizabeth Mercurio · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was a fast pace adventure book with many different mysteries that gernonimo must solved. Kids who are ready to read chapter books won't be able to put this one down. I really enjoyed reading this book awhile back and finished it quickly.

[Evan · Rating 4 out of 5]

A story is about Geronimo has been signed for a marathon by his friends before he could say squeak. Geronimo thought he wouldn't make it, but he got the first place.

My favourite part is the Marathon part when Geronimo rescued a few mice and mouselet.

[Katja Labonté · Rating 3 out of 5]

3 étoiles & 3/10 coeurs. J'aime ce livre car il contient de nombreux bons conseils et astuces pour être plus en forme, et j'aime la façon dont Geronimo montre que ce qui est important n'est pas de gagner, c'est de faire ce qui est bien.

[Chloe (Always Booked) · Rating 2 out of 5]

I just wasn't a fan of this book. There is a fair amount of diet talk that I felt weird reading to my kid (definitely good/bad foods) and the marathon itself was hard to follow because there were so many weird things that happened. Not a fan.

[Libby Richter · Rating 5 out of 5]

Inspired me to RUN A MARATHON!! I don't think I'll be as good as Geronimo though

[Jenny · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a very good book!

This book is very good because it has a great life lesson about if your doing something and you see a person in trouble you can come and help.

A cute little story about the value of helping others. It never hurts to remind kids that it’s important to be kind!

This one was far fetched but okay.

Es un buen libro, súper ligero. Lo termine en una hora con 20 minutos. Me parece exelente para practicar y empezar a leer en inglés.
