I love the pictures. The book is large and the pictures completely fill the page. The brief line with each picture merely states the cats' names and breeds. Great book!

Cute, silly, loveable kitty photos with captions. Good for those moments when you're feeling a little low and would like to smile.

I did not like this book. It's a platform for characters, who are self-involved to the point of self over anyone else. The ending illuminates the ultimate self-involvement and came as a relief, because it meant the book was over.

This book is targeted at tourism and the photos are gorgeous with absolutely no hint of the dirt and poverty that lurks just out of view of the camera lens. Even knowing that, I thoroughly enjoyed all the photos of places I've been and of the Hilton Hotel, where we stay.

Wow! This book was absolutely on point. It was great to hear another person muddling along with me. She helped clarify distinctions between assisted living, nursing home, etc. For everyone with an aging parent.

This book is so stuffed with historical fact, I slowed down to read and digest so many facts. My information from Cleopatra came from movies starring Elizabeth Taylor. Who knew Cleopatra wasn't even a beauty??! Incredible book. Well worth the read.

This book explores the relationships between mother, father, and daughter. None of them is able to connect with each other, leaving the daughter with firm lack of intimacy issues. Even so, mother and father love each other and daughter. They just were each so very alone.

Hated this book. Kept waiting for nothing to happen and the search never ended. Didn't buy the underlying concept.
