Review # 1 was written on 2019-04-03 00:00:00 Hirohide Miki I wasn't all that impressed with this book. I had heard a lot of good things about Cleveland Amory, and his white cat, Polar Bear, so, I was expecting a more interesting book. In fact, the first part of the book seemed to drag, but it picked up (only a teensy bit) in the latter parts. Also, this may be unique to my copy, but there was an error in the pages. Page 201 was printed twice, and page 202 was left out. 3 Stars = Just 'okay'. It's definitely not a page-turner.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-02-04 00:00:00 Darlene Jones Boring. Amory came up with a few cute turns of phrase, but I found his interpretation of his cat's behavior to be implausible... not that a cat couldn't be & do all that, but it was much more likely that the bachelor was projecting what he wanted & assumed on the cat. And in any case neither critter was one I'd like to spend any time with, irl or even on paper. I managed to get to p. 89 (in part because of the quotes from fan mail that were actually interesting) but finally I said to heck w/it. I think cats are cool. I'm still looking for a great book from someone who actually respects them for what they are, loves them anyway, and writes interestingly. Do you know any?
