So what the hey. I rented it from the library.
I'm going to struggle writing this book review because of how sporadically I did read it.
I don't know what it was about this. The reading was easy. The characters easy to identify (I tend to be one of those people who, halfway through the book, go "hold up. Who's Bob? What's he look like? Where'd he come from? Wait, why does everyone hate him??") And the chapters weren't that long. So I don't know.
I'm not absolutely sure I gave it a chance. I just never fully got into the book.
The series is old. But in case you didn't know, the Cat Who.. books, or this one in particular, the first one, begins when Jim Qwilleran, a former crime reporter, has to settle for a job as an art writer. He's getting older, and that was the only job available, and he has to eat.
They say the art beat is the most popular section of the newspaper, which usually isn't the case. Qwilleran takes the job and steps into a world of pride, strange triangle drawings and junk sculptures ludicrously called "art", young talent, and a strange and overall despise and hatred for a art critic called George Bonifield Mountclemens the Third.
