The book itself (i.e the writing and the characters) was fine, pretty good actually. The characters were all really nice and I think I would have liked them better if they were in a different story. There was also no proper ending, I will never actually know if they all survived the end of the world or not, it just isn't made clear, which is really unsatisfying. It was all well described, especially the emotion of the main character, but it was just kind of dry and boring. Most of the book involved characters staring sadly at places they have been, and reminiscing about the past. But I feel like the main focus of this book was the emotion or something, and I just didn't find that interesting. My main issue with this, is that is it sooooo boring. Oh, and despite the fact that Cats in the title is plural, there is only one cat. That's the only reason this isn't a full 5 star, but since until then it was going to be, I rounded it up to five anyways.Ī fun story where the characters go on a road trip and visit cool places in Malaysia, meet some interesting people and probably a bunch of cats.Ī sad main character who thinks about how sad everyone around her and people who have died and they are all going to die and they are kind of fine with it and her sister disappeared, only they found her the first time they tried to find her. If it worked, what do they do when the world ending is over? How do they survive after? I didn't like that the book just ended like that. If the bunker they were building is going to work. I wanted to know what would happen when the world ended. Overall this book was going to be a full 5 stars until the ending. The title made me think there would be more cats, it's a tiny bit misleading because you have one cat, not multiple cats, and they don't meet him on the road but before leaving. I loved Walter, I wish I had a Walter in real life. The story kept being interesting, I liked the main character. But even though I started reading this, thinking it was going to be a feel good book, I still really enjoyed every page of this. It was quick, but it was also a bit heavy. I thought this was going to be a fun, cute and quick read. After buying it I really looked at what it was about, and I actually really wanted to read this. I was in the bookstore in the beginning of February, normally I only buy books with titles I recognize, but this book. I had never seen or heard about this book before. I had pretty high expectations for this book, for no particular reason. Today the heater was broken, so I spend the day under a blanket, cuddled up with my cat, and this was the perfect book to read.
