Rating: Summary: Awesome by me! Review: I thought that The Cat Who Said Cheese was a great book. It kept me on the edge of my seat. The author knows how to capture your attention. It's amazing how she has created Jim Qwilleran who lives just outside the small town of Pickax. Jim, who is mostly called Mr. Q, owns two lovable siamese cats named Ko Ko and Yum Yum. Ko Ko has a keen sense of the future. He can sense things before they happen. Ko Ko helps Mr. Q figure out who is trying to kill that mysterious woman and who stole Iris Cobb's cookbook. It is a story of excitment, mystery, elegance, and thrills.
Rating: Summary: Awesome by me! Review: I truly love all of The Cat Who series and I have them all. I have noticed that about halfway through the series they started to change. Polly is a walking dictionary (nobody really talks like that) and I think a very irritating person. I sure hope that Mr. Q. never decides to marry her. Also he has taken to wearing "jumpsuits" I shudder at the thought. The Mr. Q. that we all know and loved during the first half of the series seems to be doing things now that he would have scorned previously. In "The Cat Who Said Cheese" Iris Cobb's missing recipe book is one of the main subjects. I seem to remember that Verona admitted to have taken it in "The Cat Who Talked to Ghosts". All of this makes me wonder whether or not Ms. Jackson-Braun is really still writing her own books. In spite of all of this I really do love the series.

Rating: Summary: for Moose County regulars but 3 for anyone else Review: Jim Qwilleran, heir to the vast Klingenschoen fortune, is caught up in the Great Food Explo like the rest of Moose County (located 400 miles north of everywhere). The Explo is an attempt to raise the standard of dining in the county but is soon over shadowed by the arrival of a mysterious woman, an explosion, and two deaths. Qwill and the cats soon resolve not only those issues but also locate a long missing book.For fans of this series there are many not to be missed bits of Moose County life: updates on the lives of both the Bamba family and Derek Cuttlebrink; Polly's recuperation; the arrival of Onoosh and other little tidbits that will either bring a memory of a previous adventure or hint of things to come. For those who are not fans of this series this is not one of the stories that can be appreciated for its own merits, even those who are fans of other cozies probably would find this one only mildly interesting.

Rating: Summary: This book was very engaging!! Review: Lilian Jackson Braun's books always keep my attention. Despite the fact that I am a cat lover and enjoy reading about Koko and Yum Yum, I also enjoy the quality of the book. I enjoy her book's lack of profanity, as well as the way she can turn a simple event in Moose county into the talk of the town. Also her ability to turn Koko and Yum Yum into new and interesting investigators in every book without sounding old. I would reccomend her books to anyone who likes good, clean, mysteries
Rating: Summary: I MADE A MISTAKE!!! GREAT BOOK!!!! Review: Please forgive my review of this book which I sent to you a few days ago. After I got home I realized I was reviewing her most recent book - "The Cat Who Tailed a Thief", not "The Cat Who Ate Cheese"!! It was a wonderful book and I enjoyed it as I have all of her books, with the sad exception of her most recent book. I do feel I rated "The Cat Who Tailed a Thief" too low though. It WAS a disappointment compared to her others, but it would probably rate a "5" not a "2" as I said before. She is a fantastic author, definitely my favorite, and I have every confidence her future books will be as wonderful as the past books
Rating: Summary: After reading hardcore mystery novels this book is refreshin Review: The cats in this book are hysterical. I've been reading hardcore mystery novels from artists like John Grisham. This is a refreshing approach and since I'm a cat lover this book is great. I've ordered two more of her novels today from Amazon.Com. Great plot! I went to the book store in search of a mystery novel about cats that my Uncle in WV had told me about. I found two different artists, Ms. Braun and Rita Mae Brown mystery books with cats. Both are great reads and completely different.
Rating: Summary: You have to read The Cat Who Said Cheese Review: The superior feline, Koko, does his best to help the lowly human, Quill, solve the mystery at paw. Koko knocks things over, meows, and runs around acting crazy trying to explain to Quill what is happening. Why are people dying? Who is the mystery woman? What does cheese and bees have in common? Why is Quill so slow in understanding? If you love cats, you'll love Koko and this new mystery
Rating: Summary: a wonderful book Review: This book was a good book because it had a good plot, good well rounded characters and two loveable kitties. The town was realistic as well and it was fun, unlike most books which are a bit too serious.
