Summary: Kit Lit
Review: I loved the book. The last chapter almost pulled the same manipulative ending as Breath, Eyes, Memory and Friendship Cake but thankfully didn't. Given the photograph on the back of the book, I have to wonder if the author was writing in part about himself. It was nice to see the Bachelor evolve as a character as the kitten brought out the best in him. Anyone who liked this book would also like Clevland Amory's books and James Herriot's Cat Stories. With so many of these sentimental books about men and their cats, do they count as a genre-"kit lit" perhaps?

Summary: A Purrr-fect Read
Review: I normally don't read a lot of contemporary fiction, but as soon as I saw this one's title I knew I had to at least give it a try. I'm a feline-phile myself, so any story with a cat as one of the main characters would be at least worth trying...It is wonderful! It is such a lovely story and it moves well and reads very easily. Warning: One cat lover to another -- there is a sad part and it made me cry, but don't worry... everything turns out ok. I promise. Even aren't ga-ga over love stories, if you're a cat lover, you will enjoy this book

Summary: If you love cats you'll love this short novel . . .
Review: I picked up this book on a whim but once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. Hoffman has simply yet eloquently captured the moments when a cat innocently comes into a man's life and winds up winning his heart and changing his world. He's painted a realistic love story that's believable and not sappy. Cat lovers will be rooting for the kitten and the man alike, and those who haven't had the pleasure of being owned by a cat might decide that they'd like to. A charming, touching story.

Summary: Sentimental...and lovely
Review: I was given a copy of this book by my mother, who termed it 'delightful'. It was much more than that. I too am a feline-file... As I read, I remembered the adage that a cat is never owned, but choses whom 'it' will own. Yes, the ending is sentimental and predictable, but that doesn't make the story any less readable. I cried at the ending, and made sure my kitty got a little extra love. I think even non cat owners will fall in love with the story.

Summary: A sweet tale
Review: I wasn't sure what to expect when I chose this book from the library but what I got was a sweet tale that warmed the heart. I have four cats and I could easily identify with the "bachelor" and his growing affection for Frankie, the cat. (the other article has the cat's name as Spike but I believe that is incorrect). It was a quick but satisfying read. Simply put, a story of how a kitten came to stay and things were never the same!

Summary: Beware ! You might want a cat.
Review: I would not characterize myself as a fan of sentimental novels and I have never had a cat. Political biographies, social and military history and travel books are my idea of a good read and of course, I love dogs. I actually bought this book for a friend, a cat owner nontheless, who had once suggested that I take a break from non-fiction and read a "trashy novel" from time to time. I thought the Bachelor's Cat might be trashy enough and decided to read it before mailing it to her (still looked unused). The book failed to meet my expectation by its lack of "trashworthiness", I read it in one session and enjoyed it quite a bit. The book flows very nicely and has given me a new perspective on cats. I continue to be a catless bachelor and that might very well change, the cat part anyway.

Summary: I am not a cat person.
Review: Interesting points: None of the characters are named. That's the sum total of interesting points. A friend of mine had this book bought for him as a gag. It exceeded expectations by being so abysmally bad that it did not even possess campy charm. This childish love story, that would have been good had a third grader written it, was punctuated by moments in which Bachelor is playing with his cat in such a manner as to make the reader go, "AAWWWW," or ",(name of reader's cat) does the same thing!" As you may have guessed from the title of this review, I had no such reaction and I found the long stretches of nonsensical description to be the print equivalent of slogging through waist-deep mud. The dialogue was dry, the plot was predictable and the stock characters were found in the bottom of a Kmart clearance bin. Though the author made a half-hearted attempt at putting in a plot twist, the ensuing climax was only exciting for people who still think Gargamel is really going to catch and kill one of the Smurfs. This book was written by a cat person for cat people and no one else. The other other people to whom I could recommend this are young authors in need of a throwing book.
