Review: A very quirky novel, sorta sci-fi, with tongue-in-cheek writing that interacts with the author and reader. A samurai cat goes into hell to kill off Satan and find his sidekick. From there it gets real strange... :-)

Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: hilarious ultra-violent theological comedy Review: Boy does this guy know a lot about everything---guns, Chinese history, Dante, Christian and Muslim Neoplatonism...I'm a Dante scholar, and the stuff about the Hell for the Virtuous pagans is a well-informed hoot. Where Dante only gives you a couple of medieval moslem philosophers, Rogers gives you four(that's excluding Al-jolson and Al-Capone)---if you catch a third of the jokes in this book you'll be lucky. Great stuff---C.S. Lewis on speed.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: An excellent ending to an excellent series Review: I grew up reading the Samurai Cat series and cannot recommend the books eneough. I've read each book number of times, and every time I reread them I get jokes that I had previously missed or hadn't gotten. The only books that I have ever read that made me laugh out loud.Rogers is a master and his work is incredibly unique and refreshing. Thanks for taking the time and making the effort to write some truly wonderful satire. I'm sorry to see him go, but thankful for knowing him. Saionara Tomokato.
Rating: ![2 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-2-0.gif) Summary: Not as good as the others Review: I was really looking forward to reading this, and was disappointed. The Samurai Cat series has gone way downhill since the first three books. I got sick of the constant authorial intrusions, and some of the punning scenes were more painful than amusing. I think readers would be better off getting the first book from a used bookstore than buying this.

Review: If you're anything like me, you're sick to death of being told what a good read is by some ad man in a Metropolis cubicle. Why don't the great works get any ink? I'll tell you--because the big publishing houses are afraid guys like Rogers will put 'em out of business. I first read this work because I DID NOT know what to expect, and have never regretted the choice. Break out of the bilgepress hegemony...read this dude, you won't be sorry.

Rating: ![3 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-3-0.gif) Summary: Started out very funny but then I read more Review: In the beginning all the jokes were fresh and good and then somewhere around page 19? it disolved into nothing but mindless violence. And not in a good way. I guess I just couldn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to. I wont pick up anymore in the series but it was an enjoyable experience.

Review: Looks like this is it, folks, unless you can persuade those people at TOR that they need to publish more Samurai Cat books. Anyway, I had a blast writing Goes to Hell, and I hope you enjoy it--- it's my favorite cat epic, and I think it shows. You might want to check out my new novel Blood and Pearls, by the way. Thirty illos by me; body count's pretty similar to the Samurai Cat stuff, and it's quite humorous, in its own deranged fashion. Not for the kiddies, however.
