I saw someone else call this "completely devoid of subtext or tension" and it's completely correct. It's a wonderful lighthearted little story about books, and what books mean to us, and there's a talking cat, and the cat is perfectly written as a cat. It doesn't try to overstay its welcome and it succeeds completely fine. An enjoyable snack of a book.
