Breed to Come

Summary: Cats as humans are alright
Review: I would have to disagree with the last reviewer. True, the cats and other mutated animals are pretty much like people, but that makes them easy to identify with... and since when was fantasy/scifi real anyhow? The storyline is very tight, and Norton does a wonderful job of painting the picture of an original and unique future earth - one unlike anything I've read anywhere else. Not a deep book, but that's not her style. One of her better works in my opinion.

Summary: Who cares about cats? Not me
Review: I've read other Andre Norton books such as "Star Man's Son" and i thought that that book was excellent, but "Breed to Come" was terrible. If there's one thing i've learned after reading books where the main characters are animals, is that i don't care about them- they seem so fake. While reading this book i had to keep reminding myself that these "people" were mutated cats, but they were basically just human-- the author just made them cats because she has some sick fetish with cats!

Summary: Cats as humans are alright
Review: Long after the dreaded WWIII, humans have finally returned to the earth they destroyed. The animals, however, had to live there. Something magic in the air, i guess, but our 'domesticated' animals developed greater size, sentience, and culture. Rats, Cats, Dogs, and Pigs vie for supremacy in a world reborn, wondering what secrets lie hidden in the ruins of the cities.
Do they remember humans? Oh yes. They remember the Demons who tried to kill the world, and they're not exactly happy to see them return.
