Cats Choose You...

NPR Driveway Moments Cat Tales: Radio Stories That Won't Let You Go brought all kinds of new knowledge and emotions that I did not expect. I chose this title because of the subject matter and the reliability and quality of NPR content. I expected to be entertained in a sort of Garrison Keeler kind of way. This collection of stories does contain some of that folksy brand of humor. However, it goes way beyond that and offers the reader a full spectrum of experiences and facts. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to spend some quality time away from their ordinary routine. This is not a happy book, although some moments will make the reader laugh out loud. The interviews and performances fully enhance and support the material in the best way.
