Love the voice of the author; clever and witty in her use of language. A few plot holes that bothered me, but the characters are wonderful.

I really felt like I had read this before, but there were large chunks I did not remember. Definitely would recommend to readers of all ages.

Genau so in ausgetretenen Pfaden wandelnd, wie es sich im Rückentext darstellt, ist die Geschichte leider auch, und so beschloss ich nach acht Kapiteln, den Rest einem wohlwollenderen Leser zu überlassen.
Einen sehr großen Anteil an meiner Unlust hatte die entsetzlich unkreative und teilweise schlimm an falschen Freunden anstoßende Übersetzung von Leonard Thamm.

Story was predictable and anticlimactic. I'm not into talking cats.

Sort of like Inkheart, but not as good as Inkheart. However a good fantasy story for kids who love books and magic :)

This read almost like a tamer version of Coraline, but it was unique in its own way. Filled with humor and imagination. I can't wait for more books in this series to be written so I can find out what Olive and the cats do next.
I loved book talking this to 3rd and 4th graders, but I think kids even in middle school would enjoy this book.
