I really don't have that much to say about this book: it's all about the cat. How wonderful he is and the wonderful effect he has had on the world especially to the people around him. I do agree with other reviews that any cat lovers may have written this book but I also think there is one special...

Saccharine sweet and full of morals... I forced myself to read until half of it before giving up. I love cats and Dewey might be able to touch me but not this book.

I think it's a bit of false advertising to say this is a book about Dewey, the library cat. It's more a book about Vicki Myron's life as it intersected with that of Dewey's. That didn't stop me from loving the book, and I laughed out loud several times, but the descriptions of Dewey's antics were de...

I am easily touched whenever I read or watch anything that feature stories about pets and how their presence make a difference in the lives of the owners. Such stories tend to be bittersweet and for sure, they never fail to make me shed a tear or two (or a bucket in the case of Marley & Me)at the en...

What am emotional ride of a book! From the beginning to the end, it was a tear-jerker. But it was a good book. I may not have met Dewey in his lifetime, but I am glad I did during mine.

It's a true story about a library, a cat and Iowa. What's not to love.
