Read mostly because I have a soft spot for the musical based on this work - cute apart from the racial slurs.  I'm very aware that it's of a time, but it's definitely not comfy to read.

5 stars for cats and whimsy. Minus 2.5 stars for overt racism. It was so delightful until it wasn’t….

If I listened to the CATS original Broadway cast recording, does that count as an audiobook?

sometimes racist! which was frankly rather distracting from the general whimsy that was otherwise present. 
however, i learned the word terpsichorean,
so i think i'll probably be insufferable this musical season.
