Books 2014: Cat out of Hell

There are cats. There are librarians. What's not to like? (Yes, I'm a cat-loving librarian!) Well, at least one of the cats is not very nice, so be warned. This book will probably never end up as one of the classics, but if you're into a bit of crime/supernatural/cat-fiction, this is for you.

I chose this, mainly because of its wonderfully cool title! At times, a hear a slight echo from Bulgakov's Master and Margarita, but please don't misunderstand - it's nothing like it at all. It just the thing about the cat ...

A bit of a strange story, this. It actually took some pages before I got properly into the story. Having not spent much time reading about it first, I was quite surprised at the slighly macabre story it ended up as. But funny and enjoyable, still. But if you don't like cats. Or talking animals. Well -this is not for you then.
