I loved reading this book, so I gave it 5 stars (my first 5 star rating ever). I can see why the book has become so popular and is on so many wish lists. Being an animal lover, it was so easy to fall in love with Dewey, the Spencer Library cat.

This book is not only about Dewey, the cat, but also about small towns in Iowa, the farm crises in the '80s, the resilience of the people and how a town survived. It's a beautiful love story between a woman, a town and a cat. I was sorry the book had to end.
