2.0
In case my Nan find this account, this book was great and I love it so much best Christmas present.
For anyone else, it pained me with its slow pace and over describing of unnecessary characters.

3.5ish stars. Review Taken From The Pewter Wolf
When Huddersfield Train Station decided to get a railway cat for their station, they had no idea how the tiny fluffy kitten will affect their lives and the lives of their passengers. From helping a child come out of his shell to providing comfort to a runaway child, Felix changed everyone's lives. But it's a chance friendship with a commuter that brings Felix into the media spotlight and international stardom.
I follow Felix the Huddersfield Cat on Facebook (not sure how I discovered this fan page, truth be told!) and love it. So when this was chosen, I was a little thrilled. And it was a fun read - what I expected. It was fun, gentle, candy floss read. Something you can read on the beach during the summer holidays. There is a few sad moments but it feels very heartwarming.
I do have some issues with this. Mainly, the writing style. I couldn't gel with it. It was as if the author couldn't decide who they were writing for. For an adult audience (on NetGalley, this is under the category of "General Fiction (Adult)") or for a younger, child friendly audience. At times, the writing felt confusing over target audience.
But cat lovers and fans of Felix will love reading this on a train with their cup of coffee on their morning commute.

A nice tale of a railway station and its staff as told through the life of its station cat.

Who doesn’t love the story of a feline railway worker in England? While Kate Moore has written some of my favorite books, this was clearly not her best literary piece. I enjoyed it but some descriptions were so drawn out that it felt as if the author were moving the sands of Lake Michigan one grain at a time.

For the most part very relaxing, with a few incidents every so often and narrator raises her voice,okay for resting but some passages might wake you up if you're listening to the audiobook. Your mind can drift and you won't lose your place because it progresses quite slowly in detail. Do look at her YouTube channel if you have issues picturing the station ,you'll see the expensive cat flap she ignored😆

Felix the Railway Cat by Kate Moore
Title: Felix the Railway Cat
Author: Kate Moore
First Published: Aug17
Publisher: Penguin
Pages: 272
Price on Amazon: Paperback £4.00 Kindle: £4.99
ISBN: 1405929782
Back in the day, all the railway stations had railway cats. Garath and Andy both work at Huddersfield train station in Yorkshire. To pass the time and scare away boredom while on shift the pair passes around ideas on ways to make the station better. When one day one of their ideas take on a whole life of its own and before anyone knows it, things are being put in place to make it happen. What is this idea? A railway cat. When Felix arrives at the station at only eight weeks old, nobody is prepared for life-changing effects one little cat can have on an entire station.
I got this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Now I am a huge cat lover, I have had cats my whole life and I love books about Cats, my favourite being the series following Alfie the Doorstep Cat as this reminds me so much of my little furry friend, so seeing this book and hearing all about it made me very excited, however, I must say I got halfway through the book and nothing seemed to be happening, the cat had gone to the station yet the story didn't seem to be progressing after that. I must admit I did give up on this book. I just couldn't imagine it getting any better.
I have chosen to give this book a single star out of five as I couldn't finish it. I wouldn't recommend it nor would I attempt to finish it. I feel a bit let down as I had heard so many good reviews on this book but I myself could not get into it.
