5.0 out of 5 stars Even Funnier than the first!, 10 Nov 2006

By	johngrr "john" (UK) - See all my reviews

I've been waiting for this book. A Cat Called Birmingham was hilarious, and this is even better. This is great fun, and will get old and young, cat lovers, non-cat lovers and all who know toddlers laughing out loud

Really glad to see Brum back as crazed and disasterous as ever and also delighted to see that Pascoe shows us more of himself here - and he's as funny as his cat. Can't recommend this author highly enough. He is the one writer who gets me bellowing with laughter from start to finish of every book. Excellent read.

5.0 out of 5 stars You Can Take The Cat Out of Slough..., 13 Dec 2006

By	V. Powell (Cheshire) - See all my reviews

Suddenly and unexpectedly,I stumbled on a comic genius. I met the author at one of his Waterstones book-signings, and was so taken with his easy humour that I thought I'd buy a copy.

I'm no big fan of cats, but you don't have to be to enjoy this book. I have NEVER laughed so much in my life. The turn of phrase, the comic asides, the ridiculously funny events throughout.

It all revolves around the author, his toddler and his cat, and a summer at home. Red Kite Hawks, one bitter milkman, a beleagured neighbour, an undercover job as a spy for a call-centre and a couple of doomed tradesmen all conspire to make this the funniest book I've read in many a year.

5.0 out of 5 stars A funny cat and a funnier cat-owner, 31 Dec 2006

By	steph (Kent) - See all my reviews

This is pure comedy. It is laughter guaranteed. I loved it.

The story of a man totally out of his depth, trying to cope with a mad, dopey cat and a toddler harboring a deathwish-grudge against the cat. The rebound-humour off the three is cleverly done and makes a splendid book.

Theres plenty of everything. Absolutely gut-busting mishap sit-comedy, lots of gentle fun, an observation of life that makes you see life as a lot funnier than you'd realised, and throwaway one-liners that make you laugh hours later.

Ten out of five for me.
