Read: In pieces over several days (it is a book of poems, after all)
Review: I particularly enjoyed the metre and rhyme of these poems - they'd be fun ones to recite aloud, and I was pleased to catch my first ever sight of the word "prestidigitation" in published literature. The subject matter is, naturally, cats; the poems each describe a particular cat and his or her peculiarities. I think my favourite poem was Skimbleshanks: The Railway Cat, but I also rather enjoyed Macavity: The Mystery Cat.
Time: Ages! Almost a week! Reading one or two poems at a time, in between prose reading, and about a million other activities. Life is busy!
