The cover is way better than the book is. The prose is so bare-bones that it's an interesting stylistic choice. But none of the characters are interesting and the action doesn't get cooking until the second half, and even then it doesn't get crazy enough for this kind of story. Because it's so hard to make cats scary, I think that it would've been better if it was either all-out insane and absurd (like Nick Sharman's "The Cats") or if the author gave personality and emotional backstory to the animals (like in Jerold Mundis's "The Dogs" or David Fisher's "The Pack").… (plus d'informations)

I love this book. It's just way too much fun. Domestic cats attacking and eating people in hordes. I probably like it more than I should, lol.
