Dewey was a rescue kitten who was found in the Spencer Public Library book drop. The fact that he survived that freezing cold night in January was a miracle. Soon enough the citizens of Spencer, Iowa would learn just what a fantastic cat Dewey was.

Dewey Readmore Books was a cat who behaved like no other. He loved people. He loved making his rounds in the Spencer Public Library and he took his job seriously. He touched each person he spent time with. He brought a smile to the patrons for nearly 20 years.

In my opinion, Dewey was a little on the dry side. It was a good story about a cat who touched people's lives, but I didn't really connect with the story. I certainly laughed out loud a few times (earning scowls from my husband). I finished Marley & Me before I started this book. It's a good possibility that Marley & Me is just a hard act to follow.

Overall, Dewey was a good read, but something I could have lived without reading.
