Lucky find for a T. McGee fan.,
By Martha B. Palazesi (Marietta, GA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The House Guests (Gm) (Mass Market Paperback)
I had always been a Travis McGee fan and enjoyed other MacDonald books as well. Then I stumbled on "The House Guests" in the library. A nonfiction look at John D. Macdonald's life with pets over the years, I found this book a compelling look inside the life of the creator of T. McGee. I just enjoy the way this man writes, whether it be pulp fiction of this warm tale of domesticity. I love knowing that the creator of the perennially unattached T. Mcgee was a loyal husband and family man. And animal lover. So sad that we lost this talented writer way too soon.

If you like cats, read this book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The House Guests (Gm) (Mass Market Paperback)
John D. MacDonald's work has been compared favorably with the best writers America has produced. And I agree. There are stories in the House Guests about Mr. MacDonald's two cats that will make you laugh out loud and bring a tear to your eye. The House Guests is as close to a biography of John D. as I can find. It is not a work of Fiction

A John D. MacDonald book about cats?,
By Jack Purcell (Placitas, NM USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The House Guests (Gm) (Mass Market Paperback)
It is! MacDonald's first words in his forward: "This is not a luvums-divums-itsyboo book, about pooty-tats."And it isn't. I've never been a fan of MacDonald mystery-thrillers. But the author demonstrates in this book that he's a multi-faceted human being. Of the hundreds of books available about house cats this one is among the best I've ever read. I sincerely hope someone brings it back into print. If you love cats and books about human attachments to animals you'll love this book.
