Read this book today!, May 19 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Nine Lives of Catseye Gomez (Paperback)
This was one of the first science fiction books I picked up off the bookshelves. It was the one that got me hooked. It's a great, entertaining blend of science fiction and fantasy starring a streetwise, one-eyed cat out to solve a murder mystery. I strongly recommend this book to any science fiction or mystery reader.

Fantastic and magic is well explained, Oct 9 1997
By clove@ansinet.net - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Nine Lives of Catseye Gomez (Paperback)
This book is great. While cat books seem to be "in style" this one is different. There is an explanation for why the "cat" is able to solve mysteries, talk, etc.(I won't give that one away!) He is like his favorite detectives, Mike Hammer and Travis McGee. I hope there is a sequel to this one!!!

Heavy-handed dud, Dec 25 2005
By Austenparker "Life is too short to read bad b... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Nine Lives of Catseye Gomez (Paperback)
I love fantasy novels. I must confess that I also love books with talking cats. And I truly love to laugh. Humorous fantasy can be hit or miss - and this novel completely missed it, for me. The plotting was a bit awkward & the narrative rather gave away the resolution of the "mystery". But what I could not abide was the heavy-handed soap-boxing of the narrator! Unbelievable! Hawke's narrator (the talking cat, for the record) would spend literally pages giving his rather distasteful philosophic disquisitions, taking away from the "humor" portion of this "humorous" fantasy. Authors like Terry Pratchett convey their subtle messages with understated verve while still managing to be outrageously funny.
The humor of Catseye Gomez was terribly obvious & more groan-worthy than grin-worthy.
If you're looking for funny, try Terry Pratchett or Robert Rankin or Tom Holt (who can be hit or miss, himself). Funny cat books? Try Tanya Huff's Keeper series.
To give Hawke his due, he is not a terrible writer stylistically, which is a saving grace & has earned the one star adorning this review.
Listmania!
