Have you ever read a bad book by Michael Morpurgo? I have to tell you how much I enjoyed this wonderful little book about the trials and tribulations of Montezuma the farm cat and his nine lives. It's quite large print and only took me an hour or so to read, but it really is one all you cat lovers mustn't miss. He's the most wonderful little character - this man really knows cats! - and his every adventure is a joy (I loved the baked bean tin story...) and those that are more traumatic have you ...more
I love this book, it brought out the child in me. I love the story of the life of Montezuma, I can't help but to compare it to mine. The last chapter really made me cry, when that big black cat from his dream finally got him.

Lovely little read, you can't help but fall in love with Monty!
