Steve’s a busy cat. His job is going pretty well, but he’s having a hard time striking a good work-life balance. When the pet man shelter that his girlfriend manages is in danger of being sold to a developer, they hatch the plan of entering Steve’s pet Manfried and some of the shelter men in the Manflower Man Show. The prize money would be enough to save the shelter — but can Steve carve out the time to help without missing too many work deadlines? Also, the developer who wants the shelter property has his own shady schemes...I didn’t like this graphic novel quite as much as the first book: the things that bothered me about that book continued to niggle at me, and in addition I thought the plot was kind of thin. I also wished the characters could be kinder and more understanding toward each other. I think readers who loved the first book and the whole concept of human-size cats owning tiny men will still enjoy this. However, those who, like me, found the first book just okay, can probably skip it.
