This book is great for lovers of animals and off-beat stories. The writing is very atmospheric and leaves you wondering if the story takes place in the real world or some alternate universe. It presents a somewhat dark and scary world, and yet it shows that if you stand up for what is right, you will find good in the world. This book is great for young readers, but adults who like fantasy will enjoy it too.

The description made me sceptical, but upon reading this book, I was hooked. The first 10% was boring, nearly quit, but then the pace just grabs you. For a totally fictional/fantasy story, I was actually tearing up. The characters are so well brought out, I even liked the the baddies. The illustrations are downright awful, but you can ignore them, better if NO illustrations were in the book. The ending was a little too weird, but when you`'re hooked line and sinker, you read on. For some reason I got a feeling of Asian vibes? The pics had an Asian look about them, also, some grammar being used, felt Asian. It did distract me throughout the book, probably, the worst aspect of whole book. If set in Asia, be up front, so it does not distract.

I've already read the book before, the book is amazing! However, my book was supposed to be of new quality but came bent on the back (see picture). Since I collect books and this one was supposed to be of new quality, this is irritating. I was very excited to add this book to my collection but the condition of it was not met with what it should have been

This is a book that I read as a child and loved. I wanted to reread it but I did not expect much entertainment as an adult. I am happy to be wrong. I was just as engaged in both chilling and thrilling moments in this book, all these years later. It is a fun read at any age, though some moments could be frightening but it is a joy to love varjak paw. I am going to buy the sequel as well.

A quintessential tale of an unlikely hero who had all the potential that just needed to be developed so he could reach his apex. Wonderful writing, descriptive and compelling. It's easy to forget you're reading a personified cat story - because the lessons are so relevant and reflective.

My reluctant second grade granddaughter learned to enjoy reading with this novel. I read the first chapter aloud. She followed along in the second and third. By the fourth chapter, she was captivated enough to take the book and read it silently by herself. This was a wonderful gift for a child who had already seen everything else made into a Disney movie. It brought her imagination to life.

What a wonderful “tail” of self-discovery, grit, determination, and friendship. I taught this to my fourth grade class this year and they (rightfully) loved it. Thank you SF Said for a beautiful story.

cumplieron todo lo prometido, muy serios, muchas gracias

My boy loves this book. The writing style is engaging and interesting. The author uses words that effectively create an image in the mind of the reader and helps to enhance the vocabulary of young minds. I am certainly going to order the other book about Varjak Paw.
