My Never Ending List
My Never Ending List rated it 6 years ago
As I read about Dewey, I thought about the cats that I have had over the years. Dewey playfulness, his curiosity and the way he seemed to read the emotions of others, sounded like some of my own furry friends that I have had. He had somehow landed in the perfect spot many years ago, finding his fore...

A quick and cute read. Librarians, cat lovers, and book readers will love this cute cat read. It's fast paced and sure to make you smile. Dewey was found in the book drop one very cold day in Iowa by the branch manager, Vicki. Quickly enough he becomes the library cat, known and loved by most patr...

I loved hearing about Dewey. That is, reading about him. I admit that I skipped quite a bit of the exposition, however. I think Vicki Myron is a good writer, but honestly I wasn't in the mood to hear a lot of background. I got enough of it to know how significant Dewey was to the library and to the ...

A very slow read, but the story was very sweet. Sometimes a little dry and boring, but it's about a library cat, so what do you expect? lol All in all, I loved it. It made me cry.

As soon as I finished reading Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World, I immediately jumped into the sequel (a good sign, I think!). And in the introduction I came across the following quote, which really represented the first book to me:“People appreciate Spencer, Iowa. They like ...

This book would have been perfect, if it was not for some of the glaring personal errors made by the author. I appreciated that she added in some personal information and the background behind the small town struggling to keep up with the modern world, however, Myron came across as constantly whini...

Dewey was a little orange ball of fur that some uncaring person deposited into a library night deposit box on a bitterly cold winter night in Spencer, Iowa. This act of cruelty did have a happy ending. As head librarian Vicki Myron shares Dewey’s story the reader also learns her story and the stor...

I didn't expect this book to be quality literature and of course it wasn't. It was a feel-good book, only I've noticed that most feel-good books actually make me feel nauseous instead of good. Especially those that idealize small town America.I thought I was going to scream if I had to read another ...

I thought this book would be about just the cat. The author inserts her personal life into the stories of Dewey at the library. She also talks about the history of Spencer, Iowa and surrounding area. An okay story.
A Scottish-Canadian Blethering On About Books
This book has made the rounds of my cat-loving family - I finished it on the plane yesterday, and passing that particular tedium was a job it was admirably suited for. However, there was decidedly too much small-town rah-rah for my taste and, as my mother said to me as she handed it to me, it was ra...
