Book Reviews of The Private Life of the Cat Who ...: Tales of Koko and Yum Yum (from the Journals of James Mackintosh Qwilleran)
Book Review: okay for Cat Who fans
Summary: 3 Stars
I was hoping this would be an interesting collection of tales from the perspectives of Qwillerman's marvelous Siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum - whether those were new stories or simply a retelling of previous adventures from the feline viewpoint would have been acceptable.
Unfortunately, this is all told from Qwillerman's point of view, just like the novels in the Cat Who... series. It ends up being a quick rehashing of several of the key points in those books, highlighting the acquisition of the cats by the likeable lead man. There are a few amusing sections with quotes and letters from the locals about their own cats, but you never get the real insight into what is behind those Siamese whiskers.
This would have been a great book if it would have added to the series, but as it was done it ends up being a short summary, with little new to offer. It was okay for a fan of the series, but not unless they have read the novels already as several endings are given away. I doubt if someone who had not read the books would get much enjoyment from this.
