A very cute illustrated book with a healthy mix of funny and uplifting quotes. Reading this book is like spending time with cats themselves: you go from laughing at their antiques to pondering the meaning of life through their eyes. I think anyone who has raised a cat will now exactly what I mean.

The art style is simple, but expressive: you can tell the author has spent a lot of time observing his beloved felines to accurately reproduce their posture and habits.
I think this is a perfect book to gift to cat-loving friends, or to anyone who had a hard time lately.

The Book of Purrs by Luis Coelho is hilarious. My preteen daughters and I really enjoyed the laughs. I love the big eyes on the cats.

I loved reading the comics. I like reading small quirks things and this was quick and easy to read. I read over several lunch breaks at work. It made me laugh and sad but I would rec reading it.

I'm allergic to cats so sadly a book like this is the closest I'll come to having one in my home. But this was absolutely adorable and I really love the style of the illustrations. Very cute!

I love the concept of this book, and the illustration style is fabulous. Overall, the book was a miss for me. It could have been more, further exploring cat and human relationships. I enjoyed it, but am less likely to widely recommend it since it was not quite what I was expecting. The illustrations were amazing, the concept was great, the delivery was just lacking the depth I wanted out of the book.

This is a purr-fect book for cat lovers who need a reminder of our blessings. And also that the cat wants to be fed. LOL.

Very cute, no plot--but uplifting. I enjoy seeing cats being cats and the art style for this was nice. Cozy coffee-table sort of book

This little book is absolutely adorable. As a cat lover, I can confirm Luis Coelho so perfectly encapsulates the life and various attitudes of a cat. It made me smile from page one, so mission accomplished!

The Book of Purrs: Everyday Thoughts from Your Feline Friends by Luís Coelho is a very short, "gift" type collection of quickly drawn pictures and bland statements for all the cat lovers out there, or at least some of them. I consider myself a fan of cats, but I didn't really get anything out of this. It wasn't really funny or meaningful to me. I guess I just wanted more.

This book was so adorable. The cats on each page were illustrated perfectly. Honestly I too "wish my life is full of pspspsps".

Extremely cute and heartwarming book full of cats and small quotes. Definitely one to pick up if you need a dose of cuteness or just to read in one sitting. The art is very charming.

The artwork here is just beautiful. I love Coelho's color choices and adorable renderings of our feline friends. But . . . after just a few pages, I felt that I was looking at a collection of greeting cards rather than comics. There's a very strong FEEL GOOD vibe to these cartoons - like you would buy this book for someone who's recovering from major surgery. I've known many cats, and I honestly think of them as more sassy than sweet.

However . . . if you're a cat fanatic, and need a bit of cheering up - THIS is definitely the book for YOU.

This book is absolutely adorable! You can tell that Coelho loves and has lived with cats for a long time as their personalities are written all over the pages. I can't wait to read more books and see more illustrations by this author!

Coelho brilliantly captured cats! Yes, they love their hoomans. Yes, they are great mental therapy. And yes, they will bite you- because they deserve joy, too. A heartwarmer even dog lovers could appreciate.

Art style is super cute. And most of the content is short and sweet. I just wish it had more theming. (I did love the bite ones!) I will definitely recommend to my cat lover friends!
