 Cat Who Came In From the Cold - Deric Longden
 Cat Who Came In From the Cold - Deric Longden ... name after a close call with a fridge!Newest Review: ... blind. The titular cat is 'Thermal' - so-called after Aileen accidentally shut him in the refrigerator, ... more ... necessitating the making of a warming coat out of a shrunken thermal vest. The book is the gentle and humorous tale of Thermal's adoption and his subsequent domination of the household. Anyone who likes cats and who wants a heartwarming, not too taxing read on a winters evening will appreciate this book.However, I do not feel that it is Longden's best. The humour ranges from 'laugh out loud' funny to extremely irritating. Longden can make very heavy going of the simplest domestic incident, such as sorting ou...more |

Reading "The Cat who came in from the cold" is a little like arriving at the cinema in the middle of the film. It is, in fact, the third of Deric Longden's autobiographical books. The first and second books were "Diana's Story" and "Lost for Words" which were combined by the BBC to make the unforgettable drama "Wide Eyed and Legless" starring Julie Walters, Jim Broadbent and Thora Hird.

Very very funny 
No real story Humour, description and human mistakes bright cover amazing concept, brilliantly written profoundly troublingvery uncomfortable in places. A brilliant story, brilliantly written, brilliantly formatted, engaging, engrossing, easy to get into - hell, I just meant 'brilliant!' Marvellously surreal! None, really...Hmm, I'm trying to think - no I can't think of any! ..Okay, there are a few typos in the latter half of the book, but Mitchell claims them at the beginning as his 'own handiwork' Very incisive satire of American social morays, particularly in the superb 'SantaLand Diaries' Stories sometimes fall short of satire by being too bleak, comedy may be too dark for some good plot style (for me)Dougal's Deep-sea Diary - Simon Bartram
A funny, vibrant picture book for younger readers. Not a traditional picture book.

Good information section as well as recipes Little emphasis on insoluble fibre
