The Cat Who Killed Lilian Jackson Braun: A Parody

Rating:
Summary: IN TWO WORDS: DEVASTATINGLY BRILLIANT
Review: This is a devastating parody of Lilian Jackson Braun who gets exactly what she deserves: a mercilessly funny send-up of treacly heartwarming mysteries. In this case everybody gets annihilated: LJB, literary sleuths, and even the reader. A dizzying and breathless send-up. I read the entire thing on an airplane ride and had to bite my lip to keep from howling outloud with laughter.

Summary: waste of money
Review: boring, poorly written - must be related to the publisher...

Summary: Revolting
Review: This is the first time I've ever thrown away a brand new book. I tried and couldn't get beyond the first three chapters. I've read a lot of trash in my time, but it all had something to offer the reader. Not this!

Rating:
Summary: MAD FUNNY!!!
Review: For all those sweet, dear fans of LJB who seem so deeply offended by this wicked parody, take a lesson from the judge in the Fox Television vs. Al Franken case when he said, "Why don't you people learn how to take a joke?" This book is a merry riot. Deal with it! I work in a bookstore in Maine and when we're bored in the store we read passages aloud from this novel and laugh our heads off. It's mad funny.

Summary: A FIVE-STAR WINNER!
Review: I just recently read the rave review of the audiobook of THE CAT WHO KILLED... (read by Arte Johnson) in the October/November issue of AudioFile Magazine: "This vicious and delicious parody satisfies on many levels....a deeply funny recording." And I went out and bought the recording. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this is the funniest book ever written. There should be a warning on the label: Do Not Listen While Driving because I nearly went off the road laughing.

Summary: Should have left it where it belongs
Review: This alleged parody of Lilian Jackson Braun's "Cat Who..." series belongs in the litter box. Sure, the LJB franchise has been going downhill for quite some time, but not nearly deserving of this dumper. It's not parody - it's a lame excuse for porn. Adolescent boys might get off on it, but other than that, it's catty and pointless and puerile and prurient and stinks worse that the other stuff in the litter box. Reviewed by TundraVision

Summary: Gratuitous scat
Review: I'm no prude, but when the stuff is gratuitously disgusting, I stop reading...

Rating:
Summary: OUTRAGEOUS AND OUTLANDISH
Review: I read a review of this book in the Toronto Globe and Mail which called it "outrageous, outlandish, and laugh-out-loud funny." The book was exactly that. I cried with laughter.

Summary: If you hate LJB READ this if you don't STAY AWAY!!
Review: It's this simple if you loath the cat who books and the woman who writes them and enjoy GRAPHIC sexual descriptions and no holds barred bad taste THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU! If you do not feel that way and enjoy The Cat Who.. books there is NOTHING here worth wasting your time on. I enjoy the books but would not mind a well written parody of the series. THIS IS NOT IT!

Summary: Nauseating
Review: Amazon needs a zero star category for bools like this! I have a sense of humor, and can appreciate someone poking fun at some of the absurdities of LJB's book series, but this book was disgusting. It wasn't even a parody! All it was to me was an excuse for the author to talk about the male reproductive organ at every opportunity. That requires no imagination. The author more than made up for the lack of sex in LJB's novels, and sent me rushing back to them to clear my mind of the mental images left from his book!! I think perhaps the author hates LJB for some mysterious reason! YUCK!!!!!!!!!
