5.0 out of 5 stars I am 18 now and this book is still one of my favorites, December 1, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Cats of Seroster (Hardcover)

I read Cats of Seroster when I was 13 or so... I will never forget it, it was so good. The story is interesting, the writing descriptive and passionate, and the characters enjoyable. I recommend you buy this book for your kid if you really believe they'll read it. Other good books for kids (or anyone if you'll read them!) are The Hounds of the Morrigan by Pat O'Shea - this is a huge book, so enticing and satisfying! - and Johnny Tremain, about a soldier boy in Boston in the 19th century. That's a classic that people really love, not another boring 18th century book. It wasn't written back then, though.. it's by Est(h)er Forbes. Have fun :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Historical Fantasy for all, March 30, 2000

This review is from: The Cats of Seroster (Hardcover)

The story of a young man ahead of his time, this book rips along as it follows the adventures of the hapless hero, Cam. One man's journey through a fascinatingly accurate (and dangerous) mediaeval Europe encompasses self-discovery, ancient religions, civil war, love and the terror of the Inquisition. And cats. For movie buffs: this unique book somehow manages to combine the fantasy of "The Princess Bride" with the historical depth of "The Name of the Rose". My sole criticism is that this book is usually classed as a children's book: it's being robbed of a wider audience. "Cats" is a truly wondrous novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books ever written !, February 6, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Cats of Seroster (Piper Plus) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is one of my favorite books of all time ! The first time that I read it, I loved it so much that I bought a copy. This is a book I would recommend to Sci-fi fans or cat lovers any day of the week. Some other books of his that I would recommend of his would be BLitzcat, Futuretrack 5 and the Devil on the Road. All of these books are worth reading ! My absolute favorite book though would still ( for three years in a row, and probably for years to come ) be The Cats of Seroster.
