While reading this book, I thought it was extremely dated. The dialogue (cats talking) sounded like a 1930s black and white British movie. Eventually I had to flip to the copyright page to see when it had been published. 2014!
The book followed a pair of cats living in a London park. The humans of the city decided there were too many strays, so hired animal control people to round them up.
The cats didn't really act like cats (instead acted like a human nuclear family) and wow the dialogue couldn't sound less cat-like to me.
I'm pretty sure I tried to read something else by this author and had the same reaction to it. I think his style is just not for me.
