review 1: I really liked the plot, but there is something big I'd like to be different. I would have preferred if they'd made a bigger difference to the anti-cat issue, I know that they did make a difference but it was just a drop in the bucket. It would have been interesting for them to have gotten the law revoked, or maybe have a sequel involving that. I understand why the author did what they did, because it's based off of the issue with abortion in Ireland and England and it's reflecting on that but I just would have enjoyed this book more. I like at the end when he did the thing with the signs a LOT, but her going to jail sort of seals the ending, because it wouldn't interesting kids to hear about a 24 year old, which is about how old she'd be when she got out of jail. I w... moreant to imagine the POSSIBILITY of a sequel, because then I can make it how I want, but this ending makes that almost impossible. I'm guessing that the author isn't in favor of abortion, because he probably imagines the cats as the babies. They don't get a say in abortion, and just because their life MIGHT be difficult, just as the cats MIGHT be sick in the book, doesn't mean they should be killed. It should be up to the person to decide, not people who can't even be sure of what will happen. This was easy for me to interpret because that's how I feel. Something I'm wondering if there ever was a person who was affected by HN51. In another book I read, All These Things I've Done, (It wasn't very good, but it had a good point) chocolate was illegal, but then this character said that it isn't bad, they just had to choose something. I really liked that quote and I'm wondering if it applies here, I mean, there's all sorts of diseases unique to specific animals, so why this? Maybe they were doing it to get money, or scare people, because when people are scared, it's easy for someone to get in power, such as James Viafara.
review 2: Wow! This is clever, funny, well-written, thought-provoking page-turner! As soon as read the first page you are pulled into the hard, complicated and slightly crazy world of Jade. You follow her and her friend Kris through adventure and nightmare as they are forced to become fugitives to protect themselves from the ever-enclosing world where cats a luxury only the prosperous can afford. Read as Jade’s life is turned upside because of one fluffy cat she just couldn’t let go of. Lives end, friendships begin, and truths realised. As you understand this futuristic world and its issues, you realise It’s not so futuristic after all. It makes you think, what would you do if you had the last free cat?From Ruby less

Decent read. A bit too fast paced and I thought the end was dumb & very unsatisfying.
