Book Reviews of Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats
Book Review: Fun to read what you couldn't understand on stage
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought this book only b/c of "CATS". I must say that the book makes a good bit more sense than the play does. Who on earth ever thought that this book of poems, out of all the zillions of books of poems, would end up making a long-running Broadway hit?? Still, the poems are engaging, especially if you like cats.Book Review: The musical is amazing , but the book is much better
Summary: 4 Stars
I love T.S. Eliot's work. Eventhough this is written for children, there are still elements in the story that pertains to adults. The lyrical form just flows like water and even if you are not a cat lover, this book will make you think differently.Book Review: Old Possum's Book of Cats

If you have not read this before you attend the theater to see "Cats" you will not get it!Book Review: The basis for "CATS"

I enjoyed the poems so much that I gave the book to a friend as a gift.Book Review: Missouri's Gift To England
Summary: 3 Stars
This is Eliot's best work. (Read into that what you will.) I liked his cheery ode to his feline friends, and I loved the connection this had to Cats, one of my favorite musicals. It's cool that Eliot knew his pets well enough to personify them in rhymes and tales and poems, as he did. Some of the felines who knew Eliot had great character. This is a cheesy (yes, that's meant to be an "s") perky little collection that shows the range of Eliot's literary talents.
