Summary: thoroughly enjoyed it
Review: I LOVED THIS BOOK! I HAD READ SOME REVIEWS BEFORE I PURCHASED IT AND KNOW THINK MAYBE THE REVIEWS WERE ABOUT ANOTHER BOOK. I FINISHED IT IN TWO DAYS AND KNOW I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE. I LOVE THE WAY MRS. BRAUN HANDLES MYSTERIES WITHOUT THE BLOOD AND GORE AND CAN LEAVE OUT THE UNACCEPTABLE LANGUAGE, SEXUAL SCENARIOS, AND CAN WRITE A COMPLETELY WONDERFUL, ENJOYABLE STORY. THE CHARACTERS ARE WONDERFUL. I PICTURE MR. Q AS A TOM SELECK LOOKING GUY, ALTHOUGH OLDER. THANK YOU FOR HOURS OF PLEASURE. ESPECIALLY KOKO AND YUM YUM. IT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD PLACE TO GET AWAY FROM IT ALL; CITY STRESS.

Summary: Koko and the birds are funny
Review: I loved this book. It was cute and adorable and a good mystery. I love Qwill's relationship with his cats. Lilian Jackson Braun has a neat way of writing (such as "Qwilleran ... made a dive for the Moose County telephone directory" and "His housemates obviously felt neglected, however. Their motto was: when unhappy, tear something up. The interior of the barn had been given the confetti treatment." and "Koko was bleating his new lament: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa." She makes me laugh often. The characters are interesting and I like the town of Pickax.

Summary: THIS BOOK WAS A DULL MYSTERY WITH ALMOST NO PLOT

Summary: As always The Cat Who series delights me.
Review: I'm always disappointed when Polly doesn't have as central a role as she does in some of the books. The cats didn't seem to play as big a part in this book, either. I have read all of Braun's books, having asked my librarian to order them through the state lending library. I really love LBJ's books and I hope it will be a good long time before she retires.

Summary: "The Cat Who Sang For The Birds" is less enthusiastic.
Review: In previous Cat Who's..., Lillian Jackson Braun has shown a wonderful talent for combining the mystery and "pet lover" them together, making one of the best known series. However, "The Cat Who Sang For The Birds" is less enthusiastic, dealing more with Qwilleran (the cats' owner)'s life than with the mysteries that Koko and Yum Yum (the cats) solve. Although the book did hold my attention, I feel that it could of been more of a mystery. But, I still say: Vive the cats!

Summary: for Moose County content 4 for anyone else
Review: Jim Qwilleran, newspaper columnist and wealthiest man in Moose County (400 miles north of everywhere) finds himself involved in another round of mysteries. This time an eccentric Moose County old timer dies under circumstances that make Qwill suspicious. Aided by hints dropped by Koko, his Siamese cat, Qwill begins to unravel the mystery and is led into a tangle involving county corruption, love affairs and greed. As always Qwill and Koko manage to solve the crimes even though the usual Moose County events intrude.For fans of the series there are many Moose County moments to savor. There is enough mystery here to satisfy fans of the general cozy genre as well.

Summary: A great story teller
Review: Lilian Jackson Braun amazes me at her quaint, but fun style. I enjoy all her books, and especially this one which I just heard on tape. It is refreshing to get to know her characters as they grow in their relationships. She doesn't use foul language or sex or violent descriptions to make a mystery story very intriguing. Thank you, Ms. Braun.
