Search - Homer's Odyssey

If there is any justice in this world, "Homer's Odyssey" will rank up there on the best-selling list as long as "Marley & Me" did. This is a wonderful, uplifting, funny, moving story of Homer, a black kitten blind from birth, and how he has impacted the lives of those around him. At 12 years old, he is still with us, getting into mischief and enriching the life of his "adoptive mom," Gwen Cooper. I can't recommend it highly enough. This is way beyond 5 stars for any cat lover; and I think even ailurophobes would like it.

This book is by far, one of the best animal related books I have ever read. Homer, who had both of his eyes surgically removed when he was two weeks old due to an infection, is an amazing cat, and reading about him and his "larger than life" personality, is such a pleasure. I think the author's husband sums it up best when he says "This is a cat who knows how to live. He's got this huge world in that little head, and you can tell just by looking at him that every second of every day of his life is an adventure. I only wish that I could see what that cat hears." GREAT BOOK, and A DEFINITE KEEPER!

Right up there with Marley, Dewey and Wesley. I love books about pets!!!!
There are great lessons to be learned though Homer, a beautiful soul who never lived within the boundaries of his blindness. Sorry, this one's a keeper...I can't bear to part with it. Read it, you'll see!

This book was a great read. Even non-cat people will like this, but those of us who know cats...
Each chapter is another adventure. The book was well-written. You can see Homer in action.

A truly fearless and courageous cat who makes our own obstacles look so small. Good story.

Homer is such an inspiring cat! A true example of overcoming obstacles and handicaps. I was surprised to find that part of the book included the 9/11 tragedy. I wasn't sure that I wanted to relive that all over again. However, the cat's story was captivating and touching and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
