5.0 out of 5 stars
realistic view of WWII through the eyes of a cat...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Blitz Cat (Piper S) (Paperback)
No, this book isn't about a cat who can think or talk. It is more about the people who this cat come in contact with. I found this book in my grade school library, and it is the first book I found there worth reading. Beautifully written, this book talks of the pains of war, the emotions of its characters, and a cat who is just trying to get home. This is a must read for anyone who enjoys a smoothly paced book with a wonderful plot.

Blitz Cat,
By Sam (Indiana, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blitz Cat (Piper S) (Paperback)
This is one exrodinary book. This book combines the tragedy of WWII with the humor of several odd europeans. The cat is merely another character that joins together the basic outlines of True stories. Even if you aren't a cat lover or aircraft fanatic you can still enjoy the odd (and sometimes drunken) europeans. I am not usually such a book worm, but this book has turned me into such (only for this particular book though). Though I am in only jr. high this is by no means a kids book. It will most adults guessing at the constant flow of long past and forgotten terms and phrases. Yet this book does not include the graphic descriptions often related to wartime stories. The thing that most interested me was that all the stories were based around true ones. Sam
