Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The merry atmosphere in Pickax is dampened by the death of an out-of-town actor and the theft of a rare book. Qwill finds himself distracted from the events by his finicky pal Koko, who's been acting more fishy than feline. Has Koko gone bananas, or is he trying to let the cat out of the bag to solve the dual mysteries?




Rating: - better than Somenex!!!
I borrowed the CD version from the library and have been "listening" to it every night. I am the world's worst insomniac, but all I can say is, "WOW!" This audio book puts all my sleep and relaxation CD'S to shame! Such a boring tale--I barely heard any of it. I even tried listening to it when I was wide awake and sitting up, but it was still mind-numbing.

On the other hand, I do look forward to reading one of Lilian Jackson Braun's HIGHLY RATED "Cat who..." books. I've always loved ... Read More

Rating: - The Cat Who Should Retire
Hardcore mystery fans may find it a bit of a stretch, but if your taste runs to expertly written and very light fiction, you can't do better than Lillian Jackson Braun's "The Cat Who..." series. Her detective, reporter James Qwilleran, investigates crimes with the aid of his Siamese cats--and the solutions to the crime inevitably rest more upon intution than actual deduction. The premise sounds farfetched, but Braun's work is usually less fanciful than you might expect, and she presents her eccentric characters ... Read More

Rating: - The Cat Who Earned Two Stars
The Cat Who Went Bananas, by Lilian Jackson Braun, is a rather slight novel that sadly seems to have been written for the sole purpose of producing a book, rather than telling a story. The paperthin plot does not inpsire much interest. I had a difficult time determining what the book was about and whether or not there was any mystery involved. I remembered somebody mentioning a person had died, and then there was a missing book, but I could not for the life of me remember why. This was my fourth book in the ... Read More

Rating: - The cat went bananas? Not in my copy of the book he didn't
Very disappointing actually. I've read lots of 'The Cat Who ...' books and this one was quite unlike any of the others. The plot elements did not tie together and people, who seemed mysterious and interesting, disappeared or died. And the banana peel, which could clearly have been used to great comic effect, made a single very brief appearance and was barely mentioned again.

Very poor. I gave it 3 out of 5 because it reads well *but* and this is a big butt ;-) there is no closure to any of the mysteries ... Read More
