Summary:
Ah, there's nothing like a relaxing vacation on the beach! I would spread out by the crystal-clear water with a good book. What more could a mouse want? At least, that was the plan. But somehow, my vacations never seem to go according to plan. Instead of a beautiful seaside resort, I found myself in a fleabag hotel that was falling down around my ears! Oh, would I ever be able to relax and enjoy my vacation??
Review:
My Rating: C
Geronimo is in need of a vacation and has dreams of sun-filled relaxation at a holiday beach resort. But his cousin, Trap has other ideas. Trap recruits his friend, Smoothie Slickpaws, to organise Geronimo’s holiday itinerary and Geronimo, being the amiable mouse that he is, ends up booked on a flight to San Shabby Fur Island. As you can imagine chaos, mistakes and accidents ensue with Geronimo not only paying his brother way too much for the holiday (so his brother and friends can pay for their own luxury holiday) but having an awful time as well.
To be honest I didn’t enjoy this book very much. It’s basically a tale of all the horrible things that can go wrong in a holiday environment with flights, hotels, food and anything else where you are away from your home environment and you have to trust other people. And in this story nothing went right. So that seems to be the moral of the story, don’t trust others because they will invariably treat you badly and assume the worst. Geronimo’s character is also a bit of a victim. He accepts everything bad placed in his way, right from the beginning to the end. He doesn’t trust his sense of intuition which we know he has from other stories.
It wasn’t really the best of Geronimo Stilton, either the books or the character, and I think when writing this book Geronimo really should have taken his Aunt Sweetfur’s advice;
“If you don’t have anything nice to squeak, don’t squeak anything at all.
