The Cat Who Went Bananas

Don't even bother. If you, like myself, have been a fan of Coco and Yum-Yum for many years, you'll find yourself wondering if she switched editors -- or if this book was even edited at all.

She crams in every character who has ever made an appearance in one of her books, with a very weak plot that really only shows up in the last 1/3 of the book, and is never resolved. Please, Ms. Braun, go back to your tried and true formula. Your loyal readers do not expect iinvolved character development. We just want the fluffy, yet delightful formula you've always delivered before.

Contrary to assumption, this book is not a murder mystery but actually just a story about a town that happens to have a murder happen during the story. There is no resolution nor is there any plot. This book wanders aimlessly and simply ends. The characters in the book are incredibly shallow and flat. They give no sense of reality. You don't feel like you are reading about real people at all. The "suspension of disbelief" that should occur in a good novel is not obtained and you feel like you are reading disjointed sentences mentioning characters.

Hopefully this book is a result of "The Author Who Went Bananas" and is not a glimpse into the decline of the series yet to come.

I just adore the "cat who series" ! Lillian was a fantastic writer! They have carried me through some hard times in my life with laughter and intrigue. Now when I re-read them it is like visiting a old familiar place. George's voices are spot on and smooth to listen to. Enjoy these stories over and over again!!

Abrupt ending. Too many loose ends. Did the author just get lazy and quit? Performer was terrific.

I love George Guidall as a reader. I love this series but him as Mr Q really brings the stories to life.

I could listen to George Guidall read a textbook and I love this series so any chance for him as Mr Q is a positive in my book.

there are a lot of fires in pick-ax, at least while the lead character lives there. this book was a bit as good as the other books. if your a fan of the series, there is a lot of good information about the characters, but the story line never really makes you wonder "who done it". the narrator did a great job bring the characters to life. this book I would only recommended to fans of the cats.

I could listen to George Guidal read forever. As usual the story was like visiting old friends. An immersing feeing of comfort and relaxation . A little disappointing with the mystery unsolved.

Another great cat book....I am always excited to hear about Koko and Yum yum ' s adventures.

At this point in the series the plots are beginning to take on a triteness of quality as if the author was having trouble reaching for new material. Choosing to use the deterioration of Qwill's and Polly's relationship was a disappointing and ill-founded way to do that.

This was one of the less suspenseful books in this series. It was not,however, any less entertaining!
I found this one a very easy listen and loved the very different ending.
