Review of Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula
Posted: 20 Jun 2022, 06:40
[Following is a volunteer review of "Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula" by R.F. Kristi.]
Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula is a children's book by R.F. Kristi. Inca is one of many cats. When their owner is set to judge a cookery competition, they couldn't be happier for her. It's Ji that they're worried about. Ji and her cat are inseparable. How can Ji compete in the cookery competition without her cat? Despite being at odds for the longest time, North Korea and South Korea are finally starting to put their differences aside. Not wanting to disturb the peace, "Detective" Inca attempts to go from one region to the other without causing a ruckus.
While the cats in this story are brilliant, cats are so smart in real life that I don't think this book is far-fetched at all. I could see our family cat getting into the very shenanigans that Ina does (only to find her way out of them all the same). I like how Inca describes things. The best thing that she describes is a wooden villa; she describes it as looking like a chocolate cake. How cute is that?
My favorite character was probably Fromage. I liked how much personality he had. It's safe to say that he had the most personality out of everyone in the story. This is for better or worse. He was the first cat to be wary of Enzo. He was also the first to take credit for the cheese that their mother made; even though their mother made the cheese, he wouldn't shut up about how he helped her.
I wish Inca would've introduced her mother as a human. It took me a minute to realize that her "mother" was her owner. I thought her mother would be whoever gave birth to her. While I was wrong, I couldn't have been happier to be wrong. I liked that Inca's mother was human. I thought the humans (Inca's mother and her friends) were a nice addition to this story about cats. I just didn't like how long it took for the humans to be specified. I didn't like that at all.
All things considered, I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. What can I say? I love cats. I'd recommend this book to those who love lighthearted mysteries; as much suspense as there is, it's nothing that's going to keep you up at night. While the font is unique, the actual writing is basic. That's to be expected from a book that's meant for children. Some of the things that Inca says are capitalized. While this isn't grammatically correct, it's intentional. There are no writing slip-ups. The book is error-free.
