The Cat Who Smelled A Rat

I finished my "Current Reading". I'm still not sure how I feel about this book!


Positives:
Easy to read. Nothing was too complicated where I needed to reread passages or anything like that.
I quite enjoyed the cat, Koko.
I also enjoyed the protagonist.


Negatives:
I was slightly overwhelmed by the amount of characters I was supposed to keep track of.
There were so many components to the mystery that it took me until 9 pages from the end to realize who the bad guy was... I much prefer being able to figure things out before the protagonist. That way, the excitement is seeing when and how the protagonist figures everything out.


I suppose I would give the other books in this series ("The Cat Who...") a go. I wouldn't not read one... I'll read just about anything really, now that I think about it.


So What's Next?


I do believe I will read Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke. That is the author of Inkheart, which I have not read but have heard good things about!


This book is kind of awesome. There are illustrations! ALSO! A super awesome fold-out map inside. It's really quite interesting. Usually, an adventure novel has a map printed on one of the first or last pages. This fold-out one happens to be right in the middle of the book! So awesome.


I know this is a children's novel, but so what? We all still enjoy a child's film, why not also a book? An adventure is still an adventure! I quite enjoy adventure.


Keep Turning The Page, Love Megan
