I enjoyed this book and kept some notes, which are basically worthless. So I'm going to refer you to my GR friend Jim, who wrote the best review I saw here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... --and don't forget to read the publisher's summary!

You will see, if you read some of the other reviews, that reactions to the book are all over the map. My only real problem was that I stalled out about 2/3 thru, and when I went back to finish it, I found my interest fading. So, he said what needed saying in the first 200 pages or so, I thought. Clearly 4-star reading until then. 3.5 stars overall, and you may want to stop where you lose interest.

Finally, I did appreciate his humorous, self-deprecating style, and the stories of his cat Tilly. And there's a great closing line: "Our relationships with animals . . . are more complicated than we thought."

Peter Tillman 2.5 yrs later: Odd that I would give a DNF 4 stars! OK, 3.5 & a round-up. Well, I'm not going to second-guess myself. I guess Tilly the cat made the book for me!
