riskyduck 's review for:
Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World
by Vicki Myron
The 2 stars is really only for the cover, and the general idea of the book. Otherwise it would have been 1.
I love cats. I love books. Put a gorgeous photo of a beautiful/adorable cat on the cover with books? I'm sold. I was in love with this book as soon as I picked it up.
Then I got bogged down in a disjointed tale of a personal woman's trouble, Iowa history, and Spencer's struggles. Interspersed were anecdotes of Dewey. And prevailing through the whole book was a sense of an inferiority complex covered with a false bravado/pride.
I can believe that Dewey was a fantastic cat who made a difference (it was reiterated many many times in the book). But the writing style was just not good. Not charming. Not interesting. Very disappointing.
