I just bought the book online and can’t wait to read it. It was just release in Sept. I can’t believe they are already talking about a movie.
I am halfway through the book and totally charmed by this discerning fluff ball. I get teared up by the goodness and love this cat gives to people and as a cat lover, know that every loved animal has a special love to give back. If we are willing to receive that love.
Hats off to Dewey, Vicky Myron, the library staff and the people of Spencer who made room in their hearts and lives for him!
I got the book for Christmas! It is so good. I am a cat lover and this gives me a warm feeling! Dewey is a purrrfect book. That cat really gave something to the library people. I am only half way through the book and can’t wait to read more. I’ll bet the movie would be fantastic!
Dewey was a birthday gift from a friend. Another friend mentioned Dewey a few weeks ago, but I wasn’t familiar with the lovable cat from Iowa. I read the book in three days. As a fellow cat lover I know how much joy and love they give a person….i
Cats can change a person’s life in many positive ways.
Thank you Ms. Myron for your gift of love to the people of thia world.
I’ve never heard of this book and a friend passed it along for me to read. Love it!! I’m a big time cat lover and have only read about half the book, cannot wait to see what all Dewey has in store!
I recently lost my cat of 15 years, he was a stray and I have no Idea about how old her really was. This book caught my attention in Wal-Mart, and I just had to have it.
It just goes to show you how animals impact all of our lives, how an unwanted animal becomes a somebody in our life.
I am a freelance novel translator from Indonesia. Recently my editor offered me if I care to translate the book of Dewey into bahasa Indonesia. As I am a cat lover, I agree at once. Oh, I love that cat, although I never meet him.
