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.

A truly cute storie of an adorable cat.
I generally love such cat stories and this one is no difference. Itˋs a simple story, though with a big impact. How much a simple cat can change so much is always impressive to see and read. Felix really seems to be a little diva, something I see reflected in my own cat sometimes.
I can definitely recommend this book to all cat lovers.

I wouldn’t read this kind of book. At all. But a patient I care about a lot is a cat lover just like I myself and we’ve always bonded over our love for cats. During a stay in the hospital she read this and decided to give it to me and I was utterly touched. I hardly ever read recs and I don’t like being gifted with books unless I specifically chose them, but this was such a nice gesture that I HAD to read it to honour my patient.
So... I don’t want to be the arsehole giving a bad review to a book of a cute cat being myself a rampant cat lover, but I will. The cat is indeed adorable, but the book is absolutely dreadful. Is honestly, about NOTHING at all, and it becomes so tedious to read pages and pages of then cat walked this direction and then decided to walk that other way. Woah!! Wild!!! Unnecessary and super detailed descriptions of everything make this book exhausting, like when the cat goes missing and it’s an entire page listing places after places they checked and it wasn’t there. Get to the point, Lady! It’s like turning a book with language for 5 years old into a novel, as if because the audience is cat lovers we’re kind of cute and dumb idk.
So it’s not the story itself, there’s obviously some content there but this story-telling style is beyond exhausting.
Have you ever had to turn a paper in but you’re not reaching the minimum word count required so you try to come up with stuff to make the paper longer? Well, this book feels like your reading that paper: you’re constantly feeling that every sentence was a struggle for the author, trying to come up with words and words to fill up as many pages as she could.
I feel there might have been other ways to tell this story, in a more dynamic and engaging way and not 260 pages of “and then Felix climbed this chair and deciding it wasn’t nice, she sat in the other chair.”
I’m sorry Felix. It’s definitely not you, I’ll probably follow you in Facebook. You deserved much better.
Two starts, because I don’t want to be so heartless. But it would be one just for Felix.

For cat lovers, this book might be fit for you because it tells a story about a cat who works at the railway station. And it's based on a true story so you can check Instagram and the news about felix on the internet soon after you've finished reading this book.
In the first chapter the story made me feel so bored. I ever want to put this ebook back to the tbr list and move to the other ebook. But NO, I - with my respectful heart - continue reading this ebook then suddenly it became the heartwarming story I ever read. I am for sure, not a cat lover, because I have a phobia of cats. But, it doesn't mean I hate them, NO. They were funny yet cute but sometimes a bad animal for me. Just like love and hate relationship with them 🤣.
And I think this ebook - even though it has mixed reviews - is still a good one, funny and light reading. I could finish this in just one sitting just because I really want to know what happens next to Felix and her coworkers.
I didn't even realize that this Felix is a real cat that works for Huddersfield station after I moved to the end chapter and found a great picture of her and her co-workers. It's really interesting to read an ebook based on a true story and the fact that Felix still exists and works for the station. On the second and third slide, they are a photograph of Felix with her friends at work! First slide is Angie, whom she's the first supporter that agreed of Gareth's idea to have a cat at railstation.
I read the translated version and it is still a good ebook to read. Fits for you also who looks for a novel with minimum conflicts and a heartwarming. It also has a slow pace, for me, it might be different for you
