Review: This book is cute. Yes...I said cute. I love Catwoman, she totally hot, and this book does a good job at pointing out that she is one of Batman's most recognizable and famous villians...but it's really all just pretty pictures. The book only skims the surface of Catwoman, with little blurbs about her history from decade to decade--not nearly enough info for my tastes. But as a coffee table book it works quite well. Beautifuly designed and ultimately fun, "Catwoman" is well worth the price to enjoy just a glimpse of what made this chick so darn sexy.

Review: This was a very pretty book to look at, but it didn't offer much information. It listed the women who played Catwoman on TV and film, and it gave a bit of background regarding her origin story ... and that was it. The rest was a bunch of cute profile quips, fashion tips, and bits of attitude, all accompanied with collages of panels from the comics.If you're looking a sassy coffee table book with gorgeous artwork, this book is great. It's spunky, well-designed, and fun to look at. Don't expect much actual background information, though. It didn't offer any info about the various books she's been in. No information about who has written her and who has drawn her (beyond call-out quotes from some of these creators). I really would have liked credits and more descriptive text to accompany the artwork. The additional sketchbook pages were nice but ultimately not much more than what you get in the current comic. Overall it really reminded me of a puff piece in a women's magazine like Cosmo Girl - very nice to look at, but light on information.
