About the Author
Lilian Jackson Braun composed her first poem at the age of two. She began writing her Cat Who... detective series when one of her own Siamese cats mysteriously fell to its death from her apartment block.

She and her husband, Earl, live in the mountains of North Carolina. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

1.0 out of 5 stars Oh, dear!, 2 May 2005
This review is from: The Cat Who Went Bananas (Hardcover)
Being a fan of "The Cat Who" series I was looking forward to this, the latest offering from Lilian Jackson Braun, if only to assure myself that the turkey that was "The Cat Who Talked Turkey" was a one-off - unfortunately, it wasn't. Gone are the plots, story-lines and interesting characters both new and old, that made page turning a necessity, to be replaced by a story-line that goes nowhere and a plot you can see through. The characters that have entertained us for so long are virtually non-existent, for example Hixie Rice appears once - blink and you miss her. The ending is sudden and a major let-down - you can see what's going to happen from page one. Not what we're used to from the author that has previously given us such pleasure over the years with her tales from Pickax.

Putting this on the book-shelf with all the other "Cat Who" books just serves to remind you what a remarkable series this collection has been - up until now. I will continue to look out for and read future books in the series, if only because "I've started so I'll finish". I can only feel that the end for our heroes is coming sooner rather than later and if that's so, I hope it will be in one good book rather than a slow, drip, drip of books like this one - Qwilleran, Koko, Yum Yum et al deserve at least that. Disappointing.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT NUTS ABOUT BANANAS, 8 Feb 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: The Cat Who Went Bananas (Hardcover)
I'd like to have liked the latest Koko mystery more than I ended up doing. It's more substantial than the last couple of Qwill books - trouble is, there's not a lot of mystery in it and the ending leaves too many threads still untied. And the story editing is a disgrace - in fact, it's hard to believe her publishers employed an editor at all. They owe it to an author of Lilian Jackson Braun's seniority (and to her many fans) not to expose her in this way. (Agatha Christie's publishers let her down in the same way in her last books.) That said, there's still a lot of fun to be had from the vignettes of Pickax City and its quirky inhabitants.

2.0 out of 5 stars The cat who went bananas, 13 April 2005
This review is from: The Cat Who Went Bananas (Hardcover)
I agree with the English reviewer - very poor. It felt as if Ms Braun had made a few notes and they were either published in their raw form or, more likely, someone else has tried to write the book. Either way it is very frustrating for true Cat Who fans to see the books go to the dogs as they appear to be doing!
