Enjoyable 6 Dec 2010

By M. Dowden HALL OF FAME TOP 50 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I must admit that I have heard of Cat Royal, but I have never read any of the books before. Seeing this on offer I thought why not give it a go. I must admit that I found myself enjoying this novella.

Cat Royal and Billy Shepherd are travelling on the slave ship Dolphin, which is transporting goods back to England. It is the summer of 1792 when this takes place, and the Dolphin is looking for a port to call in after a storm, and so they make for the Azores. Whilst there they are invited as guests to stay at a wealthy home, but when the theft of an expensive telescope takes place then our intrepid duo set out with the youths of the household to solve the crime.

Taking in astronomy and a discovery, as well as the crime this is an enjoyable read that may appeal to the whole family.

Loved It 14 Feb 2011

By Jessandra

Format:Kindle Edition

A fun short story carrying on the adventures of Cat Royal.

It definitely helped having read the previous books, as I knew the characters and understood the references to their back stories. However I think it can also stand alone for those who haven't read the other books.

I really enjoyed it and couldn't put it down.

An enjoyable read 14 Jan 2011

By Monsieur Pamplemousse

Format:Kindle Edition

This is a short story/novella. The synopsis given by a previous reviewer gives a good outline of the story, so I won't repeat that.

This was a very enjoyable read. The story is well-written and quickly draws you in. Despite the short length, the two main characters are well-developed. The plot is fairly slight but the quality of the writing is excellent.

At is current price (nothing) it is as good a bargain as you are ever likely to get.

Lightweight

I am not familiar with this author. Felt this to be a very lightweight read, not much to it. Might suit a beginner into adult reading.

Ideal in-flight book.

Despite it appearing initially to be a play, this is in fact written as a normal book - and very well written too. Read more

Very disappointing....

This novella I found to be most uninteresting. with very little substance. I would have been very disappointed if I had paid for it.

Held my attention

Despite being a little old fashioned, I enjoyed it and couldn't put it down. The denoument is a little contrived but didn't spoil the effect. Read more
