The Cat That Changed My Life: 50 Cats Talk Candidly About How They Became Who They Are

Rating:
Summary: A flawed perspective
Review: I think the author has a flawed perspective with cats. While some of the entries in this collection were slightly amusing, most portray kitties as vain, decadant and self absorbed, with few redeeming qualities. This was not the fun read I had hoped it would be.

Summary: Humorous gift for cat lovers
Review: The book not exactly chicken soup for the soul for cats but it's a great gift for cat lovers. I'd also recommend the book for reading material in an English as a Second language class. The pages are filled with interesting characters, adjectives and adverbs to discuss. However, this book is not suitable for small children as there are several references to sex and murder.

Summary: Brilliance Personified
Review: This book is a literary masterpiece. If I could have one wish, it would be to meet Bruce Eric Kaplan and shake his hand. He has taken the art of animals "speaking" and really made them say "something." A lot of times I'll look at my cat and think she's trying to tell me stuff, like that she loves me or that it's time to change her litter. (But I can't understand her, because she's a cat.) Bruce, however, has used these piercingly perceptive creatures to voice the inner truths, anxieties, neuroses and longings of all cognitive creatures - great and small. Delightful!

Summary: a great treat for insiders
Review: This is a great book for people who truly love cats -- in other words, it's a series of marvelous sketches that reveal the rich, interior lives that these intelligent creatures may possibly have ... no, it's not for children, but for adults who like their humor with a touch of wry, this is grand fun.

Summary: Loving it - meaning it!
Review: This is my new favorite book...it really is. BEK is a genius...he might just be my favorite part of the New Yorker. I actually don't like cats, but I loved it -- it's hysterical for cat lovers and haters. His sublime and witty observations are brilliant. Is this guy straight? Single? Sign me up!!
