5.0 out of 5 stars The Golden Cat, February 25, 2005
I give this book 5 stars, and I think it's much better than "The Wild Road," King's first book. It's not nerely as hard to stay interested to, and I particularly liked the focus on the character of Sealink, and how you learned a lot more about her origins. One thing that I found a little confusing is how the personalities of the characters changed, rather too abruptly into the second book to be realistic, Tag and Ragnar in particular. Other than that I found this book an interseting, enjoyable read, and much better and easier to follow than "The Wild Road".

5.0 out of 5 stars A purrfect read!, April 27, 2000
By 
This review is from: The Golden Cat (Hardcover)
It's obvious that Gabriel King has a great love and respect for the feline species, which positively purrs forth from his writing. Employing intense observational detail with moments of delightful comedy strong, King's clever prose in "The Golden Cat" will evoke a positive reaction from animal lovers everywhere. Admirably, King also explores and comments on animal cruelty throughout this part mystery/part fantasy tale. As a lover of cats, I found "The Golden Cat" to be a purrfect read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A tale of wonder and mystery, September 2, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Golden Cat (Hardcover)
I bought "The Wild Road" on a whim; I had read Tad Williams' "Tailchaser's Song" a few years ago, and wondered what it would be like to read a similar story by a more recent author. I was far from disappointed, and "The Golden Cat" exceeded my expectations, quickly becoming one of my personal favorite books of all time.

If there is one point to criticise, it would have to be the sometimes confusing narrative, which strays from the style many reader have come to expect. This, however, strengthens the story in my mind rather than weakens it. The characters are brilliantly presented, the plotline is strikingly complex, and the book makes you want to look for Wild Roads everywhere - I've already spotted a few in our own neighbourhood.

In short, anyone who's willing to stray from Fantasy norms and experience something different and wonderful, look no further!
