Written from a cat's eye view, this is a lightweight, fun book that makes a nice change from a string of heavy reading. Many laughs, especially from those who know and love cats - some moments of wry recognition of those habits that annoy those who hate cats, as well. Don't read it with your cat in the room - don't let them figure out you're on to them.
I have put this book on my read shelf but that is a bit of a lie as I only got about a quarter of the way through before giving up as i found it very irritating and not as funny as I thought it would be. I don't often give up on a book but that I did just shows you what I thought of it !

Alas, while the author's style is refreshingly self-depreciating and humorous, the supplied link does not work so the reader has to go solely on his narrative descriptions of each location.
The choice of locations tallies pretty closely with my own - or any fan's I would suspect - top "wanna sees", but without the photos/images I can only give a rating of three out of five to the book. With images, I suspect it would be five out of five.… (meer)
