Toward the end of my first read of Dewey the Library Cat I could hardly breathe from the heaving sobs that came in waves. I could not wipe away tears fast enough to regain my sight. I was devastated. Yet, I read his story again and again and again. Dewey's life was not the most tragic tale I have read - that was not why I reacted so desperately. It was the pure beauty of his story that flooded my heart with so much love that it nearly drowned me. The story of Dewey changed who I am. Never again will I look upon a stray cat with any measure of disdain. Given that I was already a softie and a rescuer of cats, Dewey led me to a place I never imagined. The fullness of his journey, how he overcame a bad start in life, how he infected all whom he met, and how he transformed the life of Vicki Myron were all miracles to behold on the pages of her book. I have read countless cat stories, and while they are all special little treasures in their own right, the story of Dewey is like no other, and is amazing from beginning to end. The story of Dewey is not just another touching tale of a wayward cat rescued from the world. Dewey was MAGIC - straight up. DO NOT BE AFRAID to read about Dewey! This book goes beyond a must read. The story of Dewey is something you must not miss! It has been over ten years since I found Dewey on the page, and I still cry whenever reading or writing about him - even though we never met. Today my tears are a reminder that Dewey transformed my life too. And, I offer my sincere gratitude to a stranger named Vicki Myron for giving her full measure of devotion to a little discard, and for sharing him with us all. Vicki, your pain of loss has grown into a worldwide phenomenon called the spirit of Dewey. He truly lives forever. I love you both.Read full review
