Cute for any adult cat lover. I like that there is a combination of funny and encouraging pages. Illustrations are simple but fun.

A cute book for anyone that loves cats!

I don't know how far this book will go for someone that actually wants to read it. It's cute, but very child level.

This is a delightful little book full of words of wisdom and encouragement through the help of feline fluffers. Some illustrations are quite funny, some are simply the words of affirmation you need to hear in the morning.

The illustrations are humorous in itself, a touch peculiar, but always adorable.

I only wish it was maybe a bit longer.

As a long-time follower of Coelho's cat comic series, I jumped at the opportunity to download an advanced copy of THE BOOK OF PURRS. These comics never fail to add some humor or sage cat advice into my life. This book is a nice compendium of some of Coelho's cat comics. It's not necessary to read the book in order and one can instead live on the edge and open the book at random.

The illustrations are adorable and neat, with the focus on each cat's eye expressiveness. There are a number of different cats throughout the comic. Each offers a variety of quick, but not necessarily forgettable quips. Their musings cover a variety of topics from contentment in the moment to cat behavior humor to expressing how much they love their humans. Some panes also acknowledge anxiety and mental health and offer advice and affirmations.

Overall this is a cute, quick read and perfect for any cat lover. It adds some levity and a dose of adorableness to everyday life.

I love cats and black cats. And these are amongst the cutest of them all!

Thank you NetGalley for the eARC!

This book is TOO cute! I love everything cats and positive vibes and that's exactly what this book provided. I love even more that I was able to go to the Read Now section and find this absolute gem!

The illustrations are cute and evoke happy thoughts and emotions and the quotes that go along with the illustrations are thoughtful and simple.

Overall, I absolutely enjoyed this way more than I thought I would!!

I will absolutely be recommending this book to my friends who need a little pick me up.

An adorable short book, perfect to cure a bad day!

The book of purrs is filled with comedic and/or comfortable strips of cats making it a great read regardless of age for any and all cat lovers :)

Super fun palette cleanser in between heavy reads!

This was super cute!

Thanks so much to NetGalley for the e-ARC. I really enjoyed this. I love what I can find in the Read Now section from time to time! So many cute gems like this one.

I tend to lean more sarcastic than genuine, so at times this felt too positive or motivational for me, but objectively it's very good lol. Perfect coffee table book, or to gift to a friend! Some of these panels would make really great prints or greeting cards!

I look forward to seeing more from this artist in the future!

I’m so thankful for the opportunity to get access to this book. I used to follow @purr.in.ink when I had a “bookstagram” account and I loved to see his daily artwork on my IG home page. This book includes a wonderful selection of Luis Coelho’s cat illustrations and lovely messages.
I invite you to take a closer look to each illustration so you’ll see those fine parallel lines which give form to those fluffy and cute cats 😍. This technique is called “hatching”. Coelho said in an interview that “drawings in A4 sheets take him between 10 and 60 hours to complete” (from https://www.demilked.com/ink-drawings-of-cats-luis-coelho/ )

I really like every single illustration and messages of this book 🥰 and I totally recommend it to anyone, especially cat lovers. I also recommend you to visit the artist’s website to see more of his artwork: https://www.purrin.ink

I absolutely adored this book. The drawings were all adorable and lovable, and the jokes and motivational words had me going "awwww" several times throughout. A lot of these would be great as motivational posters. I could look at them all day!

I love how these remind me of my cat, and I love that so much! So many of these kitty shenanigans are so relatable. If the goal was to make me smile and laugh, this book definitely succeeded!

I would definitely recommend this book to friends and family, and I would buy a copy! This is suitable for all ages (there a few nonfriendly child words like "shitty" and "damn") but this would be lovely for childrenas aswell as adults.

Ok, I am notorious for loving cat memes and drawings because irl I am VERY allergic to cats. SO, cat memes and drawings is my cat outlet, hence I loved this!! So adorable, I will be coming back to it to get my kitty fill!!!

Such a cute and lighthearted read! I especially loved it because many of the illustrations reminded me of my little black kitten both in looks and personality. A great pick-me-up kind of book, especially if you're a cat lover.

Thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing a free digital ARC of the book to read and leave my honest review.

This comic can across more as a fun motivational book. It was a really cute book and one that I would love to keep on my desk or coffee table.

This was such an adorable book! I follow purr.in.ink on Twitter so I knew I'd love this. The cats
they draw remember me so much of my own cat, Salem. He loves to show his affection with bites and purrs. I highly recommend this book to everyone

This book is purfect!!

This book is so adorable. I have seen this comic on social media; it always makes me smile. This book has lots of sweet affirmations and sometimes laugh-out-loud panels. Sometimes these affirmations are written humorously.

The artwork is adorable with lots of black furry cats.

I highly recommend this book.

We recently got two kittens of our own after having a fair few cats visiting us over the previous months and I am not ashamed to admit that I have now moved from being a dog lover to cats!

This book was wonderful to read, it was a book that was heartwarming and funny, there were parts that made me smile and it will be one that can be used as a pick me up when you are feeling down too. It will be a great keepsake.

It is 5 stars from me for this one - a fab book and very highly recommended!
