THE HEALING POWER OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE January 8, 2009
DEWEY is one of the most heartwarming and moving books about an extraordinary cat and how he literally touched the hearts of people around the world. Vicki Myron makes us feel part of the Spencer, Iowa Public Library, as well as the town of Spencer itself. She creates a sense of place and life, hers and others, during Dewey's 19 year tenure as the Official Library Cat. Love abounds and transcends life's cuts, bruises and loss. I was finally able to grieve over the loss of several of our lost cats, both feral and domestic. This is a book for everyone, not just cat-lovers. It was a miracle that Dewey even survived the night book drop box on that frightfully cold winter's night. There are angels indeed. A wonderful read. Highly recommended.
 I Like Books About Cats (Generally) January 8, 2009
I tend to like books about cats from small towns since I too am from a small town (but not a cat ;) tee-hee) This book was good, but not great.
I'm also an aspiring writer, and I felt that the Dewey character was underdeveloped. Obviously, the anthropomorphizalition of Dewey is critical to relate to the reader, yet the cat himself could have easily led a double life as a librarian during the day, and a ninja-crime-fighter at night. No other animal is as ninja-like as a cat ... sure others have tried, but all failed. Therefore, an opportunity to create a national hero has been missed. The commercialization and licensing fees from a line of Ninja Dewey lunchboxes alone would have covered the medical fees for cat rehab. Except for lacking the ninja connection, this book was good ... and touching.
Marvelous book January 8, 2009
I am truly sorry for those people who can't see the very real beauty of this book about the love of a woman for a cat. It is a heart-warming (unless you have no heart) story about life in an Iowa town and the real change that a stray kitten brought to the people of that town and then the world. Of course, Dewey is no "Marley" (as one reader charges). Indeed, he was not meant to be. Dewey and the story of his life in an Iowa library was never boring and those who think so must find their reading amusements in other more sensational, less heartfelt places. Highest recommendation for "Dewey."
 Boring January 8, 2009
I thought some of this book was interesting - I'm an animal lover. But most of it was just "story telling" and hard to keep up my interest.
This book does not even come close to "Marley and Me".
Do-we love Dewey? You betcha! January 8, 2009
This book is about Dewey Readmore Books, a cat who as a kitten was found shivering in the drop off book box at a library in Iowa. He was adopted by the library staff and became the library's, and ultimately, the town's cat. Dewey greeted library patrons, helped shelf books and make the library a friendly place. The number of people visiting the library shot through the roof, and Dewey became a worldwide sensation. Even though I knew how it ended, I cried like a baby. This was a great read!
