Review # 1 was written on 2019-08-28 00:00:00 Gary Massey Not bad. Cute book. I like how "Mr. Stinky" made friends with the animals in his neighborhood and used those connections to help "his boy". The title actually had something to do with the plot, which was pretty cool. Good for a younger middle reader who is an animal lover. Props for mentioning how bad declawing a cat is. Important information for anyone to know. (It's basically amputating the cats fingers at the knuckle. So horrible thing to do. We didn't know for our first cat. We never made that mistake again. He didn't hold it against us though. He was a gem. Still miss him.) 3 solid stars. Onto the next in the series!

Review # 2 was written on 2018-07-08 00:00:00 Mark Jones Aristocatic (heh heh) spy cat James Edward Bristlefur is outwitted, uprooted and renamed as the result of the intrigues of a mysterious assassin. He lands in a suburban American home, where despite his best efforts, he gets caught up new hijinks and realises that he may still be a target. This is a good fun read. As an adult who read this (entirely and unashamedly) for my own enjoyment, I could wish that there was more to the story, and that the characters were not so one-dimensional. On the other hand, I can allow for the fact that I am not the intended audience of every single book written, and that my minor complaints probably are of things that make the story more enjoyable to the kids it was meant for. (Trying to read The Chronicles of Narnia with a seven year old was NOT the magical experience I hoped it would be, truth be told.) Dossier 001 is a light, straight forward read where good is good, bad is bad, evil is vanquished and lessons are learned, all in an afternoon's exciting read. Plus, Cats as heroes!
