Summary: Beautiful, Sweet
Review: I was a shelver at the library and one day I was shelving this book. I fell in love and HAD to buy it. The pictures are artistic and beautiful. The cat images capture the essence of cats, and are just simply wonderful. There are no Cat Fancy groomed cats, but just cats acting themselves - stretching, sleeping, curious - it's all there and with exceptional photography.

It is difficult to find words to describe this great book, so all I can say is that if you are a cat lover, or know someone who is, this book is the best you could buy. I normally wouldn't buy a book like this, but looking at it is so fun that I had no choice!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome!
Review: If you enjoy fine photography and are a cat lover this book is a must-have! Each photograph is a story in itself and thoroughly enjoyable!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fabulous photos!
Review: The photos in this book were beautiful. Even if you're not a cat lover, the backdrop of Greece is amazing. The book is a real picture book with very little text except for the author's foreword.

I am writing this review to let you know that the "animal lovers beware" review didn't tell you the whole story. I, too, was in Greece (recently) and I know what this reviewer is referring to -- I saw some very shabby cats in need of medical attention and food. However, that said, if the reviewer had bothered to read the author's foreword, they would have noticed that Silvester says that this "cat paradise" exists only in his book and he recognizes that the cats do not have it easy. He then goes on to explain the relationship that the cats have with the Greeks. Having been to Greece, I realized myself that over there cats are sort of like squirrels to us. We tolerate them, sometimes like them and feed them, but for the most part, we see them as part of the environment. That's basically what cats are in Greece, in my opinion.

So, take this book for what it is -- it's meant to be a beautiful picture book and not some misinformed statement on the plight of cats in Greece. Buy the book because you'll be amazed, amused, and awed by the pictures. Read the foreword, too, and you'll get a better sense of the whole picture.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful!!
Review: This book is incredibly inspiring. Silvester spent 8 years in Greek islands photographing "Cats in the Sun". The cats complement the beautiful colors of the islands. There are some very artistic shots in this book, you will not regret buying it! The only words in the book is the introduction.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A cat-aholic's Dream!!
Review: This book is WONDERFUL. The photos are stunning. I love it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Beautiful photographs
Review: When I saw the cover of this book I picked it up and couldn't believe my eyes. The photographs of the cats are beautiful. They catch the cats in their normal lives, not posed for the pictures. This is an excellent book for anyone who loves photography and cats.
