Reading

During the boring games shown, I’ve been reading the later Cat Who series and realized I hadn’t read the last one, The Cat Who Had 60 Whiskers.

For those of you who haven’t read it yet but who are big Cat Who fans, do NOT read this one…it is dismaying in the loose ends it leaves and in its seeming non-caring about the characters. If Ms. Braun wrote this one, I would be greatly surprised. And if she did, she must have been really ill and not fully recovered, or getting senile or maybe has Alzheimer’s. It is just plain dismal. Her later mysteries have been much lighter in tone than the first 20 or so but her characters have remained consistent and likeable. 60 Whiskers isn’t worth getting on loan from the library let alone buying. I’m going to toss this one – I don’t even want to pass it on.
