Really cute book of poems centered around and told from the POV of cats! I loved the cat pictures that accompanied the poems, they made me want to bring all of them home! I honestly feel like many of the poems were themed around my cats and how crazy/lazy/lovey they can be. A fun, quick read!
I am a dog person but this?! This is so much my personality as much as I want to ignore it. And reading this hilarious yet lines that do speak a lot of truths makes me actually aware that I am an introvert that can relate so much to that of a cat's behaviour.
This short book of short lines and cat pictures simply amazed me.
I love this one in particular:
'Books
I can lose myself
In a novel
I can be absorbed
In a short story
I can be immersed whole
In adventure
In history
In romance
And mystery
I can see now
That I'm stuck behind your bookcase'
116 pages filled with cat poems and real cat pictures!
Seriously, why cannot I love cats more?
I do realise I don't need to because I am a cat inside.
Thanks #NetGalley for providing me this copy of #AllCatsAreIntroverts
All Cats Are Introverts by Francesco Marciuliano is a delightful poem collection about the introverted nature of cats. Most of the poems are funny and/or aptly depict cats in all their feline aspects. Don’t expect the most epic of poems, some are rather formulaic, going one way, then ending with a twist, but one doesn’t buy this kind of book for the epic poetry. As a cat lover (I’d love to say “cat owner” but I’d be lying, since my cat totally owns me) some of the poems were very relatable. Being rather introverted myself, some also felt quite relatable to me as a person, which was kind of the point of this collection. The poems are interlaced with beautiful cat photos, those alone make this little book worth your while. Overall, a fun little book that I’d recommend to cat lovers everywhere!
A new book of poems about cats. I loved I could Pee on this, so I was looking forward to reading this and I loved it just as much.
If you are a cat lover, like myself, you will laugh out loud and nod and say to your cats, yep that is you. And you might find yourself reading some of them out loud to your cat. At least that is what I did.
Although the poems are about cats, they also resonate into the introvert human. They reached a place inside of me.
And I also loved the beautiful cat pictures.
Francesco Marciuliano’s feline poets are truly gifted. In his introduction Francesco explains that cats, who have been labeled ‘antisocial’, ‘unfriendly’, ‘uncooperative’ or just aloof, are just really introverts.
What follows in All Cats Are Introverts is a collection of poems that generate laughing out loud as readers move through the pages. For instance:
Peace
Press
Press
Press
Press
Press my paw
Against your nose
Only to find
It’s not the mute button
Crap
I’m never going to have
a moment’s peace to think
In this latest collection, Francesco continues to share these amazing gems, written to incite laughter and lighten every reader’s mood. This author’s work is especially appreciated by individuals who live with cats.
This book contains beautiful photos of cats. I enjoyed this aspect of the book very much. The written content is poems told from a cat's point of view. My sense is that they are meant to be funny. I did not especially enjoy the poems although I can see what the writer is trying to do. If you are a cat lover and you read this one, please let me know what you think. Thanks.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this book in exchange for an honest review.
From the author of “I Could Pee on This”.A cute lil book of cat poems. Lots of cat photos and some laughs along the way while reading. This would make a nice gift for a cat lover. It will lift your spirits. Each poem is narrated by a cat .Introverts will relate to this book.
Thank you to NetGalley & Andrews McMeel Publishing for this digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
I have been on a cat reading trend and requested this one because I am owned by 2 introverted cats and I too am an introvert. I enjoyed the poems and the pictures were darling. I recommend this book to any cat lover.
Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC of this book. I loved this book. The photos were great and the poems were very cute. I always buy these books when I see them. Love anything about cats.
Francesco Marciuliano just gets it. He gets cats, he gets introverts, and he most certainly gets introverted cats. These poems, highlighted with bright and beautiful photographs of cats doing their cat thing, are hilarious. I was actually laughing out loud through this book, so that by the end I was nearly in tears. This one has earned every one of the five stars I'm giving it!
An intriguing collection of poems supposedly composed by cats accompanied by beautiful photographs of cats that compliment the context of the poem. The poems are quirky, funny, gross, snarky and totally express the vibes that come from your favorite cat. The poems are an adorable peek inside the cat and human lifestyle. It is an enjoyable book sure to leave a few smiles and guffaws behind as you read through it.
If you love cats you will love this book! Funny and true all at the same time! Enjoyed it. Thank you.
A funny book about cats, what is there not to love! Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for letting me review this book.
I enjoyed reading <i>All Cats Are Introverts</i> because I felt like it resembles them perfectly. I’ve ways loved cats and believed that they show their love in their own way. The poems that Marciuliano wrote are relatable until the end where he throws in a twist that is written frim a cat’s perspective. That part always threw me off because it was just a little jarring and sudden.
Did I make squee noises while looking at all of the gorgeous pictures?
Did I laugh like a crazy person reading the poems?
Did I give my own feline companion the side-eye, question what they’d been doing with their spare time, and have an in depth discussion about their possible financial contribution to the household? (The reply was an a clear mrrwwmrow-ow)
Did I then proceed to follow the author on every social media ?
Mrowwwommmrrrrp (says the cat)
This is a cute cat book! I loved the poems and laughed out loud at most of them. And the pictures are very pretty! Being a cat lover, I would definitely share this book with others.
This book is so much fun, especially if one is an introverted catlover. It has funny poems and amazing photos of cute cats.
Oh my God that was hilarious!! I have to get my hands on more of the author's books!!
I would like to thank the publisher for giving me a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
The cat pictures were brilliant. More pictures, less poems. The first few poems were funny and a little unexpected, then they just became bleh, or less unexpected.
You know when you're feeling a bit sad and not really in the mood to read? Well, that's when you need to pick up this adorable book. It's both funny and relatable. I couldn't stop myself from laughing at pretty every poem. It makes you feel understand and laugh at the same time, I don't know what else you can possibly need. It was just such a good time! I really liked that there were cat pictures, made the entire experience even more enjoyable (who doesn't like cat pics???????? I need to know for science).
