A review by amylee218
Cat of the Century by Rita Mae Brown

3.0

I haven't read many of these books (one, maybe?) so i wasn't as invested going into it as some of the other reviewers. I did find it a bit political, as if the author was looking for a chance to get her views (on taxes, the government, drugs, the environment) out there front and center. It didn't bother me too much, although I agree there was quite a bit of that type of writing. I thought the animals were cute, and wish that there was more of their antics and musings in the story. I also liked Inez and Aunt Tally. A story that has two tough old ladies and a bunch of animals should have felt fun and sassy, but much of this book was too serious. It was pretty easy to figure out the killer early on. The illustrations are charming, and the animals were drawn really well. Kudos to the illustrator.
