Amazon.com: 4.0 out of 5 stars (2 customer reviews)

5.0 out of 5 stars A great starting point for the reader new to IM, a treat for the "old hand", May 2 2012
By Richard Ferrie - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Henry and Cato. (Paperback)
Iris Murdoch, from mid-career on, demonstrated over and again the ability to ensnare us in the lives of characters who seem strange at first but who become in time alarmingly but wonderfully familiar. This was the first novel I read by IM; the experience lured me into reading the entire range of her work. Looking back now, I have to say that HENRY AND CATO offers an excellent starting place for the reader who might wonder what all the fuss is about. IM underwent a sea change with A FAIRLY HONORABLE DEFEAT; the novels prior to that masterpiece tend to be ironic, cool, primarily intellectual--closed systems. With AFHD, Iris Murdoch opened her Pandona's Box and let all the angels and demons take flight for the reader's edification; characters become so real that one feels ineluctably bound to them. Shorter than most of the great novels, HENRY AND CATO, for the reader who can get past the first, oh, twenty pages, is a fine introduction--and the beginning of what may turn out to be a major addiction.

3.0 out of 5 stars religious book, April 3 2009
By Kenneth Masong - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Henry And Cato (Mass Market Paperback)
A very religious novel. It deals on redemption threefoldly defined as healing of memory, detachment and the will to love. A fine piece of narrative for a philosophical discourse on the need for salvation and the complicated dynamic that weaves the tapestry redemption as a human exigency.
