>> Dewey
I purchased this book for my daughter she has told me so much about the book that I will read it myself when she is done If you love cats please read
>> Touching and inspiring story
Though at times I felt like the author rambled a bit and overdid what has become a cliche in American culture by exalting the supposed virtues of small town life overall this was an entertaining and touching book that I very much enjoyed reading Toward the end it seemed like the story began to drift but it all comes together with a powerful and emotional conclusion I don t think it s worthy of five stars but it easily earns four It is definitely worth your time
>> So Not the Cat s Meow
I am shocked on how many people really thought this book was a five I consider a 5 starred book to have it all I read Marley and Me and loved it It was a touching story about a man and his dog I was hoping for the feline version of this Boy was I wrong Dewey despite being the title s namesake is NOT about a lovable cat Its about the author Its really all about her Part of the author s life is when she found an orange tabby Also she makes this cat into more than what he could have possibly been I understand the bond between animal and people but she personifies Dewey as her little god In a way the book really made me sad The author sounds like she was a very lonely lady and instead of a husband she had Dewey The small parts about Dewey are cute Its the one highlight in this book
Also as an avid reader this book is poorly written It reads like the back of milk jug The author has a poor way with words and some of her word play is over ambitious for her
Check this book out from the library I would not pay for it and after reading it you wouldn t want to either
