5.0

In light of the release of the movie adaption of ALW's Cats, I decided go back and reread my favorite book as a child, which is about anthropomorphic cats in Edwardian Boston solving crime. I'm delighted to announce that it's just as good as I remembered. The mysteries are fun, and the narrative voice is wonderfully wry. Looking back, I'm also pretty sure this was my first introduction to sexism and classism.

Also, the book comes with illustrations, which are beautifully rendered and, perhaps most importantly, will not give you sleep paralysis.
