5.0 out of 5 stars A fun and fancy free book of kitty romance, September 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Cat Love Letters: Collected Correspondence of Cats in Love (Hardcover)

This is a great light hearted book, with several sets of "love letters" from different types of cats in all sorts of love. A great fun book to read before you go to sleep at night

3.0 out of 5 stars Not at all what I expected, September 26, 2007

This review is from: Cat Love Letters: Collected Correspondence of Cats in Love (Hardcover)

I bought this book as an aniversary gift for my boyfriend, who is also a cat lover.

I expected a cute, funny book. I thought that we would read it together and laugh and enjoy the evening.

I couldn't have been more wrong.

We started off reading the first series of letters outloud. I read those written by the female cat, and he the ones written by the male cat.

By the end of the series of letters I was in tears. It was really sad. Depressing, even. Not to give spoilers, but I wasn't expecting any tragic deaths in this book. I love cats, I don't want to read or think about them dying if I don't have to. It isn't a pleasant topic.

My boyfriend skimmed through the book, trying to find a series that had a happy ending. The one that he did still involved a lot of tragedy. I decided to put the book down for good after that.

I don't want to insult the author. That would be unfair. The book is very well written. It was clever and creative idea. The stories do have depth and you do care about the cats quite a bit. Everything about how this book was written indicated to me that the author is very talented.

However, it was not what I was looking for. I had a misconception that this book would be happy and less of a downer.

I am writing this review primarily so that someone else doesn't mistake this book for having a different "mood" to it like I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Funny, June 11, 2002

I got this book when I was ten and I thought it was so funny. The artwork is great too, the way they draw up the letters to look like real stationary is fabulous. I still have this book. I love it. Any cat lover would love it too.
