We bought a copy of this book for my daughter as she has just played the character of Skimbleshanks (the railway cat) in a youth theatre production of Cats. This was obviously the basis for Andrew Lloyd Webber writing the stage show of Cats... and while much of the content of this book is word for word, there are sections in there that were not carried through to the stage show (well at least the youth version) and plenty of content added in to make it a continuous narrative.
I have no idea how to rate or really even review this short book, but I read it through and now know a few more of the lyrics that despite seeing the show several times I couldn't pick up.
Well this will likely be the only book of poetry I read this year, but regardless I quite like the rhyming song lyrics (as they have been for me), and didn't dislike this at all.
