"If, however, you are even mildly curious about the psychology of cat-owners (whether you are one of them, or have long eyed them suspiciously) brethren, there is a book for you. Caroline Paul's LOST CAT: A True Story of Love, Desperation, and GPS Technology is revelatory...it moves easily and hilariously from one sentence and chapter to the next. Like the storyline, though, the form only appears simple; in truth, it's ingeniously crafted...All of this may sound a little over the top, and it is, especially for such a short book. But the effect is a fiercely charming narrative that sneaks up on a reader, just as the best fantastical books do...LOST CAT is an incredibly endearing work, a snapshot of the madness of loving and agonizing over and chasing after animals." - Jillian Steinhauer, Los Angeles Review of Books

"You may say that love is not a word for feelings between people and books. I say I loved this book. I felt giddy when I read it. I smiled constantly and made snorty crack-up noises, the kind that make the people around you go, What?! Then I'd get choked up, and then I'd be giddy again, and all the way through, I didn't want it ever to end. I think we can all agree that's love." - Mary Roach
"A thoughtful, kind and funny story about the love people can have for their pets and the weird places that this love and accompanying devotion can take them.
