FACTUAL REVIEW: Homers Odyssey - Gwen Cooper

Release Date: 06/01/11

SYNOPSIS:

The last thing Gwen Cooper wanted was another cat. She already had two, not to mention a phenomenally underpaying job and a recently broken heart. But Homer was no ordinary cat. He was a three week old, abandoned, eyeless kitten and Gwen was unable to resist his charm. It was love at first sight. Homer, tagged as an 'underachiever' from day one, quickly proved his doubters wrong revealing himself to be a tiny dare devil with a giant heart and a passion for adventure. The kitten they said would never be as independent or as playful as the other cats eagerly made friends with every human who crossed his path, scaled seven foot bookcases with ease and chased off an intruder in the middle of the night. He even survived being trapped alone for days after 9/11 in an apartment near the World Trade Centre. "Homer's Odyssey" is the story of one cats unswerving loyalty, his infinite capacity for love, his constant happiness in the face of all obstacles and his ability to inspire and transform Gwen's life. He kept her company through the ups and downs of daily life and by the time she had met the man she would marry Gwen realised Homer had taught her the most valuable lesson of all: love isn't something you see with your eyes.


REVIEW:

As a Servant to the Feline Nation, I love to read books about people’s experiences with animals that are truly ambassador’s to the human world that present not only a positive message but one of love and hope. This is truly the case with the story of Homer, a blind kitten who not only struggled to overcome his own problems but also gave love and loyalty to his new owner.

It’s fascinating, it is heart breaking and of course a story of hope and perseverance. All in a wonderful read and one that is a positive message for all. A great story all in and one that I really am pleased I took the time to read. Thank you.
