5.0 out of 5 stars Jennie a must read, June 2, 2005

This review is from: Jennie (Mass Market Paperback)
This book earned a place on my top ten list immediately upon my reading it. I can't believe I did not know about this wonderful classic earlier! It made me laugh, cry -- and sit up all night, as I could not possibly put the thing down until I finished every last delicious line. Here I sit, at work the next day, staring at the cover, hoping I can steal a glance at that last chapter at lunchtime. This book is about life. And cats. And Paul Gallico. I always knew Gallico was a sports writer, and that he actually got into the ring with fighter Jack Dempsey -- a rather nervy move for a writer. In Jennie, Peter the cat fights a brawling tom named Dempsey. That's as much information as I'll give you. Read the book. You will forever be glad you did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful literal cat's-eye view of life beautifully written, December 20, 2002
By 
"wabbit911" (New Rochelle, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jennie (Mass Market Paperback)
I first read this book when I was 7. Lost my copy when I was 15 (15 years ago!) and REALLY REALLY want to get my hands on another copy - but it's SO hard to find!
A wonderful story about a boy who becomes a cat and falls into a great relationship with a real cat. This is a well-written story that does a great job of portraying the (twisted!) world of humans as seen by cats, and by the end of the book you could almost feel like you yourself had become a cat!
Great for ages 7-100. A timeless classic no doubt.
Pardon the grammar, but if you don't like it that's your problem.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most charming and lovely book ever written about cats., August 23, 1999
By 
This review is from: Jennie (Mass Market Paperback)
Jennie has managed to remain at the top of my favourites list ever since I first read it, about 5 years ago. Noone understands cats better than Paul Gallico, and perhaps you'll understand them more after you read this amazing story, which mean people insist on categorizing as a children book.
