review 1: Written and published in 1920, this story is only 3 pages long. I love it. I'm biased, having an affinity for cats. But this strange little story is both sad and satisfying, and yet I find myself wanting more. Menes is easily one of the most intriguing characters I've been exposed to. He is a sad little orphan with a remarkable power. With such power and loss at an early age, he could easily become a terribly cruel person. But I prefer to think that he turned into a fine, upstanding young man who cared for small things and the elderly.
review 2: My daughter read/studied this story in school and mentioned that I might enjoy it. For several reasons: I enjoy a good creepy story and I love cats.So I did. And she was right. I thought it was a great and somewhat twis... moreted fairy tale! Cats are lovely, intelligent creatures but they can also be spooky and mysterious. In this case, I think the old couple got exactly what they deserved. And I was fascinated by the people that stop by the town.*insert evil laugh here* less
