Summary: Adventures With Time Cat
Review: The book, Time Cat writen by Lloyd Alexander,and published by Puffin books in 1963 was a great book. I liked this book so much because of the great aventures I rated it 5 stars. The book Time Cat has a special cat named Gareth and a boy Jason that traveal back in time to Egypt in the year 2700 B.C. and then worked their way up to the year1775 in America. So read Time Cat to find out what's so special about Gareth, and go on some spectacular adventures with Gareth and Jason in the book Time Cat.

Summary: Time Cat, A Waste of Time
Review: The concept is marvelous: a mysterious cat enables a boy to visit a variety of fascinating places and times in which the cat has spent its previous lives! This should be a gripping tale. Unfortunately, the writing is so dry and unexciting as to make finishing the book the mere fulfillment of a commitment...

Summary: Best book i have ever read!
Review: This book deals with a boy named Jason and his pet cat, Gareth, which takes him on an adventurous journey through time. You'll read about places like Egypt, Ireland, Japan, and many others. You might even learn something! In the very beginning you will find out something that may be very surprising to you. I can not say what it is though, you will have to read the book and find out! My opinion of the book was that it was very well written, very well thought out, and very interesting. Once you start to read it you never want to put it down! Lloyd Alexander, a Newbery Award winner, wrote the book. It is also one of the best books i have ever read and i recommend it to people with a big imagination!

Summary: Time Cat: The Remarkable Journeys of Jason and Gareth
Review: This book is about a boy named Jason and a cat named Gareth.
The first time they went time traveling Jason looked into Gareth's eyes and Gareth gave a long slow wink. They went to Egypt,Italy and a lot of other places including the U.S.A in 1775! Gareth really talks in the story but not real cats that we have. In Egypt Gareth had a white spot on his chest. I really
like this book because they go back in time.

Summary: Time Cat
Review: This cheery, charming whirlwind of a kids' book did have me purring somewhat. Gareth the cat, with the ankh on his furry chest, shows his owner, young Jason, that the rumoured nine lives of a cat really means nine exciting trips through time. Pet takes owner to ancient Egypt, 5th century Ireland, the home of "Odranoel" da Vinci (that would be Leonardo, who likes to spell his name backwards for fun), and even the Isle of Man, just when tailless cats are washing up on shore. In fact, most of the places and times Gareth and Jason visit have some special attitude towards cats (not sure if Gareth just wanted to be the center of attention the whole time, but cats will be cats); Gareth, and Jason by association, are either being revered, such as in Pharoah's Egypt (well, okay, Gareth revered, Jason to be thrown to the crocodiles), looked to as role models (Gareth and Jason try to educate a young Japanese Emperor not to be such a puppet for his bullying Uncle), or hated and feared ("the cat's an evil spirit!--Burn the cat and the boy!"). The two even end up in places where people don't even recognize cats; in the Ireland of 411 AD, Gareth is mistaken for a dog, since everyone knows that a wildcat is a big, nasty thing. Gareth, in fact, tussles with a wildcat. But she turns out to be female...The whirlwind of time travel ends in America: 1775, and Jason's exposure to the War of Independence is perhaps the most grown-up portion of the book. A dying patriot, shot in front of the young man, entrusts Jason and his cat with a mission. Others fall in the midst of battle, as Jason sets out to complete his appointed task. Later, the last trip through time is over, and Jason tries to finally absorb what Gareth has been trying to teach him throughout the entire odyssey (Gareth is a bit of a lecturer, doing a bit of a Yoda to help Jason become a man). This is a young adults' fantasy novel, so the cat talks, and can travel through time, and can allow Jason to understand myriad languages, all without any kind of logical explanation. It's just...cat magic; though it's fair to say that the ending, though familiar, ties up everything nicely, as well as providing some answers to the mystery of Gareth. Several quick history lessons packed into a fun novel for young readers. But I did enjoy it, and I'm in my thirties as I write this.

Summary: Good Book!
Review: This is a great book. I enjoyed reading it a lot. I started reading it thinking it was going to be dull but after the first two chapters it really started to get interesting. I love all the adventures that Gareth and Jason go on. It is quite a story. But I would only recomend this book for children 12 and under.
