This was a story would be great for kids who like animals and a lot of action. Some kids who don't like any violence will want to avoid it (though nothing is too detailed).

I actually read this book a while back; I was one of the people Jesse had help out with the editing. I've been meaning to write this review for quite a while, but I procrastinate terribly. *sheepish half-smile*
However, I am writing it now. So, without further ado - the book review of The Missing Kitten.
The first thing I'm going to mention is that, though I believe the book was aimed towards a younger audience, it will be enjoyable to people of any age - I'm sixteen, and I enjoyed every single page of the book. So don't let the age range you perceive the book to be aimed at deter you from checking it out, I beseech thee!
I don't know about the rest of you, but the Amazon book description alone would be enough to convince me to buy the book.
The Missing Kitten is a story of excitement, adventure, loyalty, and courage. You find yourself emotionally invested in the characters quite soon off; all of them are very third-dimensional and fun to read about. They all have quirks and flaws, just like real-life humans (and animals!) do.
Okay, all of my excited rambling aside, I'll get on to the pros and cons. And don't expect many cons, just as a heads-up.
~~
Pros:
- The characters were well-developed and extremely likeable. You find yourself mentally cheering them on and hoping the protagonists succeed in their mission. I believe that Jesse Rice did a very good job, however, of not making all of the antagonists completely unlikeable either; some of the antagonists have a side to them that make the reader sympathize somewhat--but not enough to stop rooting for the good guys. That is a hard balance to meet, but Jesse meets it perfectly.
- There is a well-kept balance between the excitement; there is plenty to keep a person turning the pages, but it's not all action, all the time, which is always a good balance to have in a book.
- The writing style and choice of words are easy enough for younger readers to understand, but not so much so as to bore older readers. Somehow, Jesse managed to write it so that both older and younger readers could enjoy it.
~~
Cons:
- Uhhh... the only cons I could find were fixed in the last edit of the book, to be honest. *grins* I'm telling the truth, I really don't have any cons for this book. It's a wonderful story!
~~
So yes, I think that's all there really is to say! If you get the chance, definitely check out this book; it's well worth it. And, there will be more. A sequel is already in the works. If you like this first book, then you'll get to read more!
If you have any questions about the book, let me know, and I'll answer them!
God bless.

A very good book for a beginner author. The characters were easy to get to know, although sometimes it was a little confusing remembering every cats' name. What most surprised me is how dark the book got. It wasn't Lemony Snicket dark, but it was dark for a cute little cat book. Even though the darker-ish parts, it was still a great book for ages 10+. The book also has a sense of mystery to it and makes me want to read the rest of Jesse Rice's series.
