I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I'm pretty sure it wasn'ta talking cat. A dancing cat, sure, but not a talking one . Then again, this is Beagle, so it's a mistake to expect or not expect any particular thing. That's one of the things I enjoy about his work.
This really wasn't a calculated tearjerker of a story, but it really got to me. I was sobbing almost the entire time I read it. It's a sweet and touching story of grief and coming to terms with the loss of a great friend. I especially appreciated how he handled the dynamics of all of the relationships. I would recommend this to any Beagle fan, or to somebody who has lost a lifelong friend or a soulmate. But have a box of tissues handy, just in case.
