Review: The Cat Who Saved Books (The Cat Who..., #1)
Gaby Meares
Where to begin? Firstly, the title….the cat in question does not, in fact, save any books. He leads Rintaro into a number of labyrinths, where Rintaro saves the books. The cat is unpleasant and a bully.
There is never any real sense of danger and I found the book as a whole quite flat and uninspiring. It doesn’t say anything new or exceptional about the power of books. Perhaps some of the nuance is lost in translation.
The best thing about this book is the outstanding coverart!
