reviewed on + 152 more book reviews


I first read one of the "Cat Who. . ." books probably 15 years ago. Don't recall which one it was or too much about the story. About three years ago a local thrift shop was closing. I went there on the last day and picked up four hard cover "Cat Who. . ." books for about $2.00 each. Realizing it was a series, I decided to read the books in order so added books 1-3 on my paperbackswap.com wish list. In the last month received them.

I had just finished a mind-numbing 559 page novel that took me a month to get through. I was ready for something light and an easy read so reached for "The Cat Who Could Read Backwards," book 1 of the series. It was just what I needed--a slim book with enough interest to keep me engaged.

I sometimes couldn't keep track of who was who which is why I'm giving it four stars instead of five.
