Sunday Book Review – Bogie in a Human World: He’s a Cat by Cheryl Spears #humor #newrelease

Welcome to my Sunday Book Review. Today I’m happy to share a humorous book by Cheryl Spears. Cheryl is a friend of mine who is primarily a children’s author with her Finn the Kitty books. But Cheryl has strayed for this new Bogie series, more geared toward ages teens and up. A lot of scarcastic humor here from Bogie the Cat.

Get This Book on Amazon

Bogie’s Verdict: Humans are clumsy, noisy, emotionally confusing—and occasionally delightful, especially when snacks are involved. He’s not signing up to join their chaotic species full-time, but he’ll supervise from a sunlit window ledge, tail curled, eyes half-closed, secretly entertained. While Bogie may never truly understand humanity, he has enough material to fuel his perceptions for nine lives—and then some.

This book is hilarious.

Honestly, I’m not much of a feline person, but that didn’t stop me from reading this humorous telling from Bogie about how he really feels about life and people. As he likes to refer to himself as a ‘therapist with fur’, Bogie isn’t shy to tell us how he feels about his cushy cat life. He shares what makes him happy, what puzzles him, what pisses him off, and even provides a day in the life of his life list to let us know exactly how he spends his day. He’ll even rate some of the things he particular likes and dislikes, complete with paws to demonstrate his ratings. Bogie isn’t shy to tell us about naps, distractions on humans, the importance of hanging out on a keyboard, or share his complaints about vacuum cleaners.

The cartoon illustrations in this book are both clever and funny. Bogie sets the rules straight about what he will and will not put up with. So, if you are sometimes miffed a little about what cats are thinking, how they spend their days, their judgments, preferences, and dislikes, Bogie will give you his unfettered truth. And the bonus with all this is that Bogie is actually hilarious.
