If you like cats, gentle humans, some morally gray characters, and examination of what makes a person villainous, you should read this. I laughed a bunch and felt a few tugs at my heartstrings.

Charlie was a little too good at speechifying given his other character traits and the plot twists were pretty transparent, but this is not a thriller; the twists are not the point. A great story and the perfect length.
