Customer Reviews

Watership Down for an alley cat?

I first read this book in my early teens and loved it. This book reminds me of Watership Down, in that it tells the story from cat's point of view, writing of his thoughts and adventures from a innocent kitten to a streetwise stray. Also as in Watership Down (and in real life), the humans are not all milk & yarn balls - be warned that some sections may be upsetting to younger children. The style of writing is realistic and detailed - adults will likely enjoy this book just as much as teens!
