lacked a plot.Disjointed. Seemed to be just a few odd thoughts for a story by the author, stitched together to make enough to be called a book. I am a fan, and read as many ‘The Cat Who..’ books as I can. This one was not worth the time
Not as good ass the other books by this author
i loved all the “Cat Who..” books. Not crazy about short stories. They are all a great escape from the world.
I’ve been a faithful fan of Ms. Baum’s books. I find the use of cats in her plots is unusual and very entertaining. This book was up to her usual standards, and I’ll wait for her next book being offered.
Love this series. Working my way through again.
Fun read between serious literature.
This book was the last fizzle of one of my favorite series, The Cat Who … Apparently when the author died the publisher worked from increasingly unhelpful notes or something to put out several more volumes, each one worse than the last. Too bad.
I always adore Koko and Qwill, and this time was no exception.
Sadly, this was not my favorite of the “The Cat Who” series. There wasn’t much story and there was no ending.
Had no real plot and never addressed the mysteries that did crop up.It was like half a boik.
I thought the ending to abrupt. Definitely not as good as the previous books. It didn’t seem to be as well developed.
Too short. Not as good as previous books. No real closure.
Love “The Cat Who” series, all the quirky characters are familiar and feel like family.
This was as good this time as the other 5-6 times I read it. The whole series is wonderful.
A fun read
I love the Cat Who series and am attempting to collect the whole series. they are fun and entertaining to read. for me they are the literary version of “comfort food.”
Ok, just not as good as others in the series.
I was very disappointed as I only had 1/2 of a book. I bought a book and then it ended abruptly at page 114. So I have no idea how this story ends. It is so very unlike the other books in this series that I have read.
Just a fun read. Being from Michigan helps because you can actually picture the town!
