Summary: Another great book to share with my 10 year old Daughter
Review: All of Lillian Jackson Braun's books are great for both my daughther and I to read and that's pretty special! We are both plowing our way throught the whole series and are enjoying discussing them together. Thanks to whoever recommended them to us! We're hooked!

Summary: Easy-to-follow storyline and characters.
Review: Although I own eight of the books in this series, this is the first one I have gotten around to reading. I thought the storyline flowed very easily (without all the ups and downs of the mystery books I usually read) and was easy to follow. The characters were real and believable, and there weren't so many of them that you lost track of who was who. Although I have cats, and believe that they can have mysterious qualities all their own, I don't necessarily care for the connotation that the Siamses cats have some level of 'psychic' ability--I think this part is majorly overplayed. All in all, though, I thought it was a good read, and I'm sure I'll be reading more of her books in the future.

Summary: Best Fed Cats!
Review: Ever notice how well Qwill feeds his cats!? Wish I ate so well! :-) He really loves those cats and I relate to that because I spoil my three cats badly! One of my cats is so smart and curious he and Koko could be related! I loved this book, as I love all The Cat Who books. An aside in this book is that Qwill investigates the correlation of the number of cats whiskers to how smart they are. (Koko has 30 on each side.. Yum Yum has just 24 on each side).

Summary: The Cat Who Said Cheese was disappointing compared to others
Review: Every book Ms. Braun has published has been incredible and very consistent until her latest book. I was very disappointed. The cats were barely mentioned, the wonderful descriptions of Quill's current residence were lacking, and the humor seemed to disappear compared to all of her other wonderful books. I have recommended these books to everyone and will continue to do so, but I feel this last book must have been written in a hurry, or perhaps her private life had problems greater that other years and it couldn't be helped. I do hope she returns to her previous way of storytelling in the next book. I am one of her greatest fans, and have read every book three times now. I live in fear that someday the newest book I am reading might be her last, since all things must come to an end eventually.

Summary: Entertaining, and the cats don't talk!
Review: I had seen this cat series around, but never read it, because I (wrongly) assumed that cats talked in the books, and that just wasn't my cup of tea. I was extrememly pleasantly surprised when I read this newest entry and found myself enjoying a very entertaining murder mystery. The cats are pets, and their owner talks to them, but the cats DEFINITELY don't carry on a conversation. it's kind of what you think your own pets might be thinking--he ascribes them with the insight of dropping clues to the mystery. I found myself trying to figure out what town in Michigan this series takes place, and that is another entertaining part of the book. All in all a fun, entertaining read--I've since read three more books in the series. They are somewhat addictive

Summary: Funny characters and witty dialogues: a joy to read
Review: I have read all the books of "The Cat who" series and this is the one that gives me the greatest enjoyment of all. Not only did I increase my knowledge of cheese (cheddar used to be the limit of my understanding of cheese variety, now feta and gruyere and brie are added to my dictionary), I also satisfied my curiosity over the identity of the thief who stole Iris Cobb's cookbook, a mystery brought forward from a previous book, in addition to the new mystery that relates a strange, frightened woman, an abusive husband, and a gullible young man with white hair.
All in all it's a delightful read.

Summary: The Cat Who Series
Review: I own and have read all the "Cat Who" series and have just now ordered the latest one. Tongue-in-cheek, pure entertainment, light and airy, Lillian Jackson Braun continues to roll. Highly recommended even if one does not like cats!
