Review of Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula
Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula records Inca's adventure in Korea. While Fromage, her brother, was bothered with guarding his precious cheese, she had to mastermind a rescue mission. Her friend looked up to her as a detective and the head of her company. She was an intelligent cat, and here was her chance to prove that again. Despite her wisdom and prowess, she understood that the mission that they were about to undertake would be very dangerous. Things could go sideways in a matter of seconds if she and her mates were not careful. Will that mission be a success at the end of the day?
Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula is Inca's eighth diary. This means that everything was written by her and from her perspective. It was also written like a diary (with dates and timestamps). I was glad to see this because it reminded me of when I was younger and when I used to populate the pages of my diaries with my thoughts and stories of my adventures. That was so cute.
I also liked the tour R.F. Kristi gave me in the book. I learned some facts about Korea and the two Korean nations within it. I learnt about the war and the pain that plagued the land for a long time. I learnt about some of their tourist attractions. I also learned about the wall where loved ones who had been separated when Korea divided dropped messages for each other. All these made me understand that there is so much I do not know about Korea. In fact, it taught me a lot, and I liked this thing the most in the book.
As for what I disliked the most about Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula, that would be the lack of highlightable text. Confused? Well, I mean that, for some reason, I could not highlight or bookmark any specific word or phrase in the book. This could be because each page was merely an image. I think that R.F. Kristi might have converted her book into an image, which she then put up on Amazon Kindle. Even though this did not affect my enjoyment of the book to a large extent, it denied me the chance to highlight sentences I liked.
I have decided to give Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula the best and highest rating that I can give it. It deserves it. It was interesting, and it taught me a lot. It was also professionally edited (I spotted a few errors). Thus, I rate it 4 out of 4 stars.
I recommend Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula to young readers between six and twelve because it is written in a way that will appeal to their young minds and eyes. It will teach them about friendship, loyalty, sacrifice, and empathy. This does not automatically mean that older readers will not learn anything from this book either.
