A Great Summer read

I have been a fan of the Lilian Jackson Braun series for many years, and received this book as a gift a few weeks ago. I enjoyed the quizzes, as they were not of the typical quiz book variety. Each quiz appealed to the me as a reader of the series. My only regret is I did not buy this book for myself sooner. A great book to take on vacation...

A must for your bookshelf!

KoKo would be knocking this book off the shelf, yowling, "Pay attention! You must have this!"By no means does one find the typical list of simple, answer-apparent questions throughout this Quiz book. Dr. Headrick's academic background shines forth as he has designed a companion book which appeals to all levels of Cat Who... aficionados ~~ from the `light' readers to the most serious. With many different modalities of questions, ranging from easy, general questions to ones requiring close attention during reading, this companion book is great fun for all readers.How well do you really know `The Women in Quill's Life'? The idiosyncrasies of KoKo and Yum Yum? What one would see if meandering through Pickax and Moose County? Through Junktown? Most importantly, the history of Qwill's life and all the continuing characters who changed his life's path? You may consider yourself well-versed in your readings of The Cat Who ... books, but be prepared for surprises. After taking one quiz in this Quiz Book, you'll find yourself reading the next with much more attention and care.The Cat Who Quiz Book is not designed to be a scholarly study of Lilian Jackson Braun's infamous series, but through Dr. Headrick's book, one does pay closer attention during readings. It's an absolute must to have on hand after reading a Cat Who ... book, challenging yourself to better your score than on the last one read. Also so makes one wish Dr. Headrick was the prof in your classroom, stimulating one's brain in the most entertaining way! The Cat Who Quiz Book is definitely challenging, thought provoking and such great fun. A perfect `game' book for get togethers with fellow Cat Who ... readers or for a great solitary escape time. Yes, you may have to reread a Cat Who ... book to complete a quiz, but that's the best part. On your next read, be on the lookout for those salient factors .... the mystery continues as you see how well you do!Highly recommended!!!!
