This sequel to Said's Varjak Paw was even better than the first book, and stands alone pretty well. The plotting is much tighter than the first, and I read this pretty much in one gulp.
Varjak has mastered the Seven Skills taught to him by his ancestor, Jalal, and saved the cats of his town from the Vanishings that plagued them in the first novel. But without the fear of Vanishings as a distraction, the fearsome Sally Bones and her gang have seized control of the entire city. No ca More...

I didn't really think that this book would be all that great, but it was absolutely spectacular! If you've read and enjoyed the Warriors by Erin Hunter, you should read this; if you enjoyed this, go get started on the Warriors. It was really cute and friendly. The copy I had had some spectacular blue images that were surrounding and on top of the words that really added some feeling. Sally Bones sent shivers down my spine...I just think this was an awesome book.

Of course I found out this was a sequel AFTER I read this book. Besides that, though, this book was excellent. I'll try to pick up the first book, but in the meantime I found this book very satisfying.

I loved this book. After I read the first one I wanted more! All the illustrations were really cool. I would die for a cat like that!

I read this one before Varjak Paw but I felt that this one was so good that it was worthwhile to go back and read the other one!

This book is about a cat named Varjak Paw and he has to defeat his enemy Sally Bones. They both know some magical power.

A great sequel to Varjak Paw, this stories plot betters the first, but the writer runs out of steam in terms of taoism

Just as the last one. I read it the whole way on our Trip to Palm Springs in the third grade. -laughs-

Much better than the first book. Varjak looses some of his ego and becomes a more desirable hero.

Mystery, philosophy, action, adventure. Still, I preferred the first one.

I liked this one as much as Varjak Paw. Good for middle schoolers that can handle violence. Warrior Cats readers would love this book. Varjak is a cool cat. :)

I know this is a children's novel. It even includes drawings. But I loved it. The plot was basic and simple yet enjoyable. The characters had different personalities and even grew as a character through the book. This is apparently a difficult feat to accomplish in YA these years. So I find a children's novel more entertaining then YA. That would be your hint to give it a try and read if.

This book is just so satisfying. Varjak learns about the world, about himself, about good and evil... all within a really delicious suspense / adventure / mystery. Complete with truly wicked villians, mysterious benefactors, loyal comrades and thrilling (enough) fight scenes.

This was pretty much along the same lines as the first one, though the plot overall moved towards a more obvious conclusion. There was one surprisingly touching part, though, which I really wasn't expecting from a book about talking cats...

4 stars. A solid sequel though not quite as brilliant as the first book. I'd recommend this to fans of the first.

Great cat story! Varjak "The Paw" becomes leader of the gang of good cats in the city and defeats the nasty cats.
