Into the Wild
Into the Wild, by Erin Hunter. First of the Warriors series.Well, this book gets the dubious honour of being the YRCA book that I hated the most. (Although Mayor of Central Park is not winning any medals in my book either.) It’s about these warrior cats who live in four clans in a forest, and this “kittypet” (ie housecat) that goes to join one of the clans. It is full of cats “purring” and “mewing” and “hissing” everything they say, and if you’re going to have talking cats, then just have them TALK, for god’s sake. Throw in a “He said” once in a while and I will be much less tempted to throw the book across the room. But as it was, you were constantly, relentlessly reminded that these were CATS! But they were acting like PEOPLE! Isn’t that WACKY?
Bleah. But, again, they seem to be insanely popular with the crowd they’re intended for, so maybe I’m just old and grouchy. Although I’m fairly sure the 12-year-old me would have hated this book too. And I like cats! Stupid warrior cats.
