Entertaining
This collection of stories of Max, Dooley, Harriet, and Brutus - along with their owners Odelia, Chase, Marge, Tex, and Vesta and the rest of the gang provide loads of humor mystery and touching moments.
The stories get pretty close to crossing the line of adult entertainment, but is certainly appropriate for older teens.
I enjoy the concept of the women in Odelia's family being able to talk to their cats. The human-like intelligence of the animals is humorously depicted. It's the supposed "romance" between Harriet and Brutus that I feel is taken too far. Spayed and neutered animals are not able to engage in "romantic" feelings. When they are neutered they just don't! Take it from this life-long cat (and dog) owner.
Other than that these books ate highly engaging and I love to put the pieces together before the end of the story.
