A review by fairymodmother
Catseye by Andre Norton
2.0
I'm giving it an extra star because I didn't pay attention so when I tuned back in and didn't know what was going on, I can't blame it. I do however blame it for being dry enough that I couldn't pay attention for the mere 6 hours this audio lasted.
This is the second Norton I've read. I found the animal parts cute. She obviously loves animals and that's sweet. But for whatever reason her books are still not considered children's books. They have none of the depth I expect from adult fiction--it starts with infodumps, the dialogue is opaque and the plot took its time starting.
I can't say anything about this book; I don't know what the plot was, I barely remember who the main character is or the politics of the world. I did listen to the whole thing. The narrator has nice vowel enunciation.
I think perhaps the decades between these books and me are insurmountable.
