I have all three of the Norton series (via paperbackswap.com) and am reading them in order. I gave the first book three stars--liked the cat (although skeptical about all the amazing things he did) but disliked Gethers. I also thought the author was an irresponsible cat owner. This book seemed to be more a travelogue with Norton sometimes added as an afterthought. The book would have probably been 122 pages instead of 243 if the author hadn't added so much "padding" to the narrative. He gave lengthy descriptions of the scenery, what foods they ate, being stuck in traffic, a load of wood being erroneously delivered to their abode, etc., etc., etc. It really added nothing to the story other than length.
