The Catswold Portal

Summary: Great Book! I wish they still published it!
Review: This book really kept me reading--couldn't put it down! I loved the characters. I think that they should have gone into more of the history of the main characters though. I suggest you read this one. A rare find!

Summary: Readers grow attached to the characters.
Review: This is the best book I have ever read. Murphy's descriptions allow the reader to have vivid pictures of the characters and the places. I can picture Melissa's multi-colored hair and feel her pain when she is captured as a little cat. Even though Alice is never in the book, I fell Braden's and Melissa's sorrow about her death. Murphy develops Braden's love for Melissa as a person and as a cat. By the time I finish reading the book, I have grown very attached to Melissa, just as Braden grows attached to the little cat I would reccommend this book to people who like fantasy and romance.

Summary: Good, but a few things . . .
Review: This was a good book. A creative premise written in a surprisingly unpredictable way. The biggest problem I felt was the setting. It is only mentioned a few times that the story takes place in the 50s, so why bother? Especially with Morian. She is a very cool character - but a very 90s character. A black woman friends with whites? In the 50s? I don't think so. A black woman SLEEPING AROUND (with a WHITE GUY, no less) on the 50s? Nope. No way. Other than this, I felt The Catswold Portal was a good book. (For true cat books, I'd recommend my all-time favorite, Tailchaser's Song by Tad Williams)
