Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World by Vicki Myron with Bret Witter – Review
Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World by Vicki Myron with Bret Witter
The day a stray cat unexpectedly arrived in our dog-centric home, my ardently cat-loving cousin Jeanne had a word of advice. “He’s not a dog,†she reminded me. “A dog leaps immediately into your heart. A cat arrives with a slow crawl.â€
That pretty well also describes my experience with Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World by Vicki Myron with Bret Witter. I picked this book up dubiously, expecting a big, gooey cinnamon roll of a read – way too sticky-sweet to merit more than a few bites.
Instead, I made it to the last page and I was crying when I got there. Sure enough, the little guy had crawled his way right into my heart.

Too many novelists miss the chance to write powerfully, because they constantly stop to edit as they write. Learn to write without editing. Go back and edit later. Your work will be so much more vibrant and you will draw your reader right into the story.

Killer by Dave Zeltserman You’d think that being in the head of a serial cold hearted killer would be an unpleasant and disturbing experience. Well it is and it isn’t. Leonard’s life is told by alternating from the present to key points in the past. Zeltserman’s writing is a wonderful example of show don’t tell.

Ariel by Steven R. Boyett Despite a couple of important plot elements dating the novel, the story itself holds up 25 years later and worked on a very powerful and emotional level for me. Included is an afterword reflecting on the book and some insight to the novel. One thing that is remarkable about the
