This a compilation of previously published newspaper articles about a single woman with cats as house guests. I really enjoyed this book! Some of the articles were so funny that I laughed out loud! A good choice as a cheap Kindle choice!

Oh I hate not finishing books. As this is apparently a collection of newspaper columns, I should have known better than to pick this up. After sandi toksvig's book chain of curiosity, I knew this sort of format was just Not For Me. Browsing a newspaper on a Sunday morning I would doubtless laugh out loud over my early morning coffee if I came across one of these articles, as Lynne truss does write fairly well and humorously, as indeed the first couple got an *out loud* chuckle from me. Sadly, fifty pages in, and the column to book format had successfully dulled all motivation to continue. There was nothing more to it.
Essentially one singly woman's musings, rarely involving cats. Worth a read if you like that format, but maybe give it a miss if you're after something, anything resembling substance.

I don't know how much the cat laughed, but I laughed out loud throughout. Fun book!

Well written, amusing but thought provoking read. Excellent for summer or bedtime reading as the book is made up of articles previously published in Lynne Truss's column.

I thought there would be more cats and, to be honest, that these essays would be funnier than they proved to be; however, they were mildly amusing and passed the time.

It just seemed like someone with ADD wrote this - couldn't follow any of her thoughts. Read the book Eats, Shoots and Leaves about punctuation awhile back and loved it, even met the author at a book reading. Won't stop me from reading other books by this author, but this book wasn't for me.

audio book read by the author which I think was a good move

This made me laugh but I got a bit frustrated at the shortness of the articles because I felt she was often just getting started when thearticle came to an end. I am definitely going to try her novels. I think they will be brilliant.

found this is in a box of books being given away for free, and I'm so glad I picked it up! this book is so funny, and provides a humorous commentary on typically mundane everyday experiences. absolutely loved it :)

This book is a collection of some of the best of Truss’ humor columns. I found them even funnier than her short novels (see 70, 72 and 73 above). All 4 of these works came in an omnibus, “The Lynne Truss Treasury,” an apt name if ever there was one. Highly recommended.
