Book Reviews of The Cat Who Had 60 Whiskers (Cat Who...)
Book Review: Shameful
Summary: 1 Stars
I've read nearly all "The Cat Who" books and have liked some of them very much and have been luke warm on several. But this one is simply terrible. There is no plot. There are a couple of maybe arsons that are never explained. There is a death that could be a murder, but we never know about that. The book just wanders about with little meaningless incidents.
According to some accounts, Ms Braun was ailing when she wrote this, but that is no excuse for the publisher bringing it out with fanfare. Oh, I forgot--the publisher knew it would sell because there are many fans of Qwill and his cats. It is an insult to readers.
There are all sorts of problems beyond what I've mentioned. For example, it seems that Ms Braun forgot that Qwilleran is an alcoholic and cannot drink any alcohol. It is certainly implied that he drinks in this book. Ms Braun also seems to have forgotten that there are two Siamese cats. Koko gets all the mention here, and I recall seeing Yum Yum's name but once. Exclamation points abound in this book, as if the reader might be tricked into believing something was actually happening if the description was filled with exclamation points.
I'll not be tricked into reading any more new Cat books. I'd rather remember the good ones nearer the beginning of the series.
Summary of The Cat Who Had 60 Whiskers (Cat Who...)
Polly Duncan is off to Paris, temporarily leaving Jim Qwilleran without his lady companion. Good thing there's lots to keep Jim busy. Like a mysterious death from a bee sting that leaves everyone but Koko the Siamese in a state of confusion. If only the kitty with sixty whiskers would stop pussyfooting around and let Jim in on the deadly secretCat Sleuths Books
