This is precisely The tale of Desperaux. I really liked the style the author used to tell the story. She told the story a little differently then other stories are generally told. The story has like 10 characters, and each character has a chapter and at the climax, all of the characters are brought together, the climax is at the end, but the characters's stories are not told in chronological order, instead the character that is closest to the climax is told first, the next chapter and character is a few month before the previous character and chapter, etc.etc.. I noticed that that style of writing really makes you need to keep reading because you want to know how everything is connected.
This is a very popular book one that I only semi-liked. It wasn't bad but it certainly wasn't magically good like other books I've read. I think the plot just didn't really interest me very much.
Anyways, rating this book, I guess I would probably mark it as a 6-7 out of 10 because it wasn't super good but then again, I liked the style of writing even thought the plot wasn't fantastic.
