5.0 out of 5 stars Can cats and dogs really be friends?, December 9, 2000

By 

Heather Harger (Tampa, FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Upchuck and the Rotten Willy (Paperback)

This is a story about how a cat and a dog can be friends. Upchuck is the cat and Rotten Willy is the dog. When Upchuck's friend moves away and his Katie goes to some place called College, he becomes lonely. So the only one to play with is Rotten Willy, a Rottweiler, "As big as a car and as black as death itself," but can he trust him to be his friend and not another stupid dog wanting to bite off his head and eat him for lunch?

If you want to find out, then you will have to read the book! It warmed my heart, and made me laugh. If you like books about animals and like to laugh, then this book is for you!

This review is from: Upchuck and the Rotten Willy (Paperback)

My 8 1/2 year old got this book and asked me to read it to him every night. I also fell in love with this book and it was so well written. I am now going to get all of the sequels to this book as a special surprise for Christmas. A story of friendship and sharing life together, it warmed our hearts. The book also kept us both in stitches. We would read paragraphs over and over just to get a good laugh! It was wonderful time together laughing and learning about what life as a cat would be. I loved the parts where the cats would make fun of the dogs.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book that will raise your soul., November 3, 1999

This review is from: Upchuck and the Rotten Willy (Paperback)

Upchuck and the Rotten Willy was the best book I ever read. It made me cry, it made me laugh, and it made me have a warm and fuzzy feeling inside all at the same time. If you haven't read this book you have got to read it! It is written from a cat's perspective who runs into lots of troubles, adventures, friendship, sadness and happiness.
