A review by bengriffin
Cat and Mouse by Günter Grass

3.0

I was initially quietly gripped by the boyhood adventure against the backdrop of war, but even though it's only short and has large print, I felt like I ran out of steam about halfway through. I imagine I missed a lot of the nuance having not read the other books in the trilogy and I got the impression studying them would make them a lot more rewarding. Despite meandering a bit too much, the ending and final lines resonate nicely though, and I'm interested in reading the rest of the trilogy.
