Ratings and reviews

I've read this book almost once a year since 1987. Its one of my absolute favorites and I think everyone should experience it at least once. I'd suggest experiencing in paperback first since there are a few misspellings in the native words of the cats... also, half of page 114 and all of page 115 seems to be missing.

I purchased this version some time ago on another phone and paid 7.99. I thought that when I got my new device with the same carrier, plan, and number that I could have it here. Now it's saying that I must purchase it AGAIN! That's not fair! I absolutely LOVE this book and read it often on my other device.. I want to be able to read it again!

One of my favorites from when I was younger, and I still keep a copy on my bookshelf. Elements are reminiscent of Watership Downs, but weaves its own mythology as the story develops. It's well worth your time.
