Reviews for A Very Holly Christmas

[thornton37814 · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Ambrose the Cat is in the process of using his 8th of 9 lives when the story begins. It seems he's been driven up a tree by a dog. When a man comes by and rescues him by chasing the dog off, he decides to follow him since he's lost his last home and needs one. There is an odd transition in the middle of the story. This one is mercifully short since the story isn't likely to appeal even to cat lovers (like me).

Ambrose the cat needs a new home and he must make it last. He has used up 8 of his nine lives and this last life needs to be the one where he doesn't do anything that caused him to lose a life previously. The story starts off relatively good and then it falls flat and ends. I am still wondering why the author chose to end her story as she did, it just ended, I am left perplexed.
