Recensioner

First of all, I loved the first book in this series, "Alfie the Doorstep Cat" (I gave it 5 stars). I wish I could say the same about this book but I'm afraid it fell short. Perhaps the author was under pressure from the publisher to quickly get out a sequel to a very successful first book.

There are two main problems with this book:

1) In the first book, Alfie adopts himself out to several families, each with problems, some very serious problems. Alfie loves these people and wants to help them. In this book, the main serious problem is something that is happening to a family that Alfie does not know well, nor do any of the people in his life (distance from the reader). It reminds me of the TV series, "Lost" where they promised every week that you would soon discover the secret. People got bored and gave up on it. Same here.

2) Alfie takes on too many human actions in this book. It's one thing to anthropomorphize an animal. It's kind of sweet to imagine that they think like we do. But it's another thing for the cat to take on human actions (eg: picking flowers for a date). This just felt off.

I will continue in the series and hope the next book rises up to the level of the first.

Edgar Road es una calle típica de Londres; un camino lleno de gente que habitualmente ni se saluda. Hasta que llega Alfie, un gato precioso, una gran bola de pelo gris envuelta en un suave ronroneo que poco a poco, con su inteligencia, su astucia y su particular manera de vivir en elmundo, cambia la vida de la familia que lo acoge y, después, la de las personas que transitan en silencio por Edgar Road. Alfie tiene un don único, ya que es capaz de conocer los secretos mejor guardados. Solo así puede saber que Claire desea ser madre o que Alesky tiene serios problemas en la escuela. Él desea ayudarlos. Sin embargo, la llegada de unos nuevos vecinos altera la armonía del barrio y Alfie tiene que reaccionar inmediatamente.… (mer)

¿Puede un gato cambiar tu vida? Déjate sorprender. Conoce a Alfie, un gato que te enamorará. Un protagonista dulce y simpático que tiene la capacidad de ayudar a las personas a encontrarse a sí mismas.
Como a cualquier otro gato, a Alfie le encanta pasarse el día dormitando en el sofá, delante de la chimenea. Le basta con unas cuantas caricias y algún que otro ronroneo para ser feliz, pero, de repente, se verá obligado a abandonar el hogar en el que se ha criad, se encontrará solo y perdido por las calles de Londres. Todo cambia al llegar a Edgar Road, un lugar lleno de jardines y preciosas casitas unifamiliares. Alfie comprende enseguida que solo allí conseguirá sentirse de nuevo como en casa. Únicamente allí podrá encontrar una nueva familia. Los habitantes del barrio, sin embargo, aún no están preparados para acogerlo. Demasiado absortos en sus problemas, no tienen tiempo para ocuparse de él, aunque pronto descubrirán que Alfie no es un gato cualquiera, sino que tiene un don especial: capaz de intuir los deseos mejor guardados de las personas, Alfie también puede reparar lo que el destino ha roto en sus vidas y escuchar la melodía silenciosa de sus corazones.… (mer)
