The Cat From Outer Space by Ted Key
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a light book, but it is also a good book. It moves mighty fast. But it’s a fun fast.
Where this book soars is comparing it to contemporary fiction. Specifically comparing it to the last book I read, ‘Sea Change’ by Robert Parker, this book is genius fiction. In ‘The Cat from Outer Space’ the characters are well defined, the settings are well described, the story is understandable – and no nasty language and sexual mess.
Unlike my complaints of a current book’s over abundance of everything, this one is a bit too trim. But, it works and I finished the book satisfied. Love the ending involving the Pledge of Allegiance. Can’t imagine a book ending like that today.
Another neat thing about this book is that it was written by ‘Hazel’ cartoonist, Ted Key.
It’s short, it’s fast and it’s fun. I recommend it.
