    About this audiobook

    From the incomporable Peter Gethers comes true-life adventure featuring the author and his Scottish Fold feline, Norton-seasoned world-traveler and renowned ice-cream critic. Whether it is the trademark flattened ears of his breed or the personality quirks individual to Norton, this cat has an uncanny knack for attracting celebrity attention. Norton's feline adventures in France are a must for the consummate cat-lover, but also great fun for those not enamored of anything feline.

      3.5 starsThis is Gethers’ second book about his travels with his Scottish Fold cat, Norton. In this one, Gethers, his girlfriend Janis, and Norton head to France for a year in the countryside. The author would just like to relax at the house (castle?) they are renting for the year, but Janis wants to see as much as she can. Of course, Norton joins them on all their travels. These are enjoyable stories. A little bit of humour thrown in. A lot of food on this trip (they are in France, after all). It looks like I rated the first book slightly higher at 4 stars. There is one more and I will plan to read it.

      One of a pile of books lent to me by a friend. I picked it cause I need something light to throw in my handbag. I don't know why I bothered, I don't think I particularly enjoyed the first one and this one was worse- heavy handed repetition ("I have hinted at these matters"... no you have not hinted you have told us at least 10 times)- We know Norton is cute and travels well from the first book, this book doesn't add any more to Norton's abilities - lack of plot, at least in the last one there was some plot and development - this was a travelogue and review of restaurants the author had eaten at and wine he had drunk- Oh woe is me I could only afford to go and live in the south of France and eat food and travel and stay at great hotels if I do SOME work (I admit that this is partially jealously on my part), but after a while it got a bit repetitious as well.There were the odd moments of lovely writing (which gets the extra 1/2 star) and it was strangely compulsive, but just mostly heavy handed.

      This book was enjoyable but a 'light' read with very little happening. Norton didn't come across as a particularly amazing cat - this was more of a travel memoir with cat rather than the cat being central to the book.

      I am sorry but this book is boaring.I did read the previous book in this series, I enjoyed that one but perhaps I was in a different place. this book is just more of the same. trying not to say too much about what was happening and trying to make his cat sound cute - I am certain that the last one was less contrived.It comes down to the problem that we know the cat from the first book and it does not "do" anything different. It has no beginning it has no end, it is just a rambling story of a man trying to find something cute about his cat.I was disappointed
