Laugh out loud funny! Perfect and short little book for any cat lover. I'll probably get to the first one in a bit as well.

Not as good as the first but still a good read

I was in the mood for something fluffy after the book I just finished and the heavy book I just started. This definitely qualifies as fluffy -- it mostly focuses on a derpy cat named Brum (Birmingham) who gets into pickles on the regular. It also involves the writer being a stay-at-home-dad to a toddler daughter who gets into predicaments (the dad, not the daughter) involving gazebos, furniture moving, pubs, and milkmen.

It was amusing but not LOL material. The cat was a cat -- if you have had a cat, you understand that the stories are real but the stories of Sammy the cat are equally real. It was a nice bit of fluff and a quick read.

I enjoyed ‘A Cat Called Birmingham’. This one less so. Yes, it made me laugh several times, but at some point I lost my patience with the book/its author. It gets repetitive and I couldn’t tolerate the parts where he muses about Brum’s future demise - who in their right mind would want to think about such things? Not me anyway. Sorry Chris Pascoe.

Hilarious. Had me crying with laughter.

Even more hilarious than the first book, A Cat Called Birmingham!

[Susan · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is one of a set of two books about the author's cat Birmingham (Brum) and it is intensely funny and can be read repeatedly and still retain all hilarity.

Just as good as the first one. Don't know why I waited so long to read it.
