Review of Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula
Missy was a culinary chef whose business had just taken off. Being successful meant she would have enemies, whether new or old. So it seemed that Enzo, who was also a chef, was determined to make an enemy out of Missy. Fromage knew he would try to do something funny to the new cheese Missy had just made. So he must protect it with his life. As luck would have it, Missy was invited to South Korea to be a judge at a culinary competition. Fromage and his family (of two cats and a hamster) would get to know and appreciate Korean culture and beauty. While Fromage busied himself with protecting the cheese, his sister busied herself with trying to help a new friend whose family was stuck in North Korea.
I have followed R.F. Kristi for a while now. I have read her books and know how good a writer she is. Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula was written by her. It was a delightful read all the way through. It focuses on the adventures of Fromage and his family in the Korean Peninsula at a time when the cherry trees were blooming. It also teaches about the Korean people's history and culture and shows their challenges over the past years.
I paid much attention to this book while reading it to ensure that I did not overlook any aspect of it. I am glad to tell you that I did not dislike anything about it. If you demand an explanation of the negative aspects it possessed from me, I will tell you that I honestly found none. But you will not believe what I liked the most about it. I loved the description of how Fromage and his other family members behaved and talked. I saw that they each had distinct personalities, which is not something we usually note about pets in the real world. Lest I forget, Fromage and his siblings were pets.
Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula highlights the history of Korea when it used to be one nation. It also teaches its readers a thing or two about empathy. This is what makes it such a great read.
Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula was worth the time I spent on it. Apart from liking everything about it, R.F. Kristi edited it professionally. It would have been better if the editing had had absolutely no issues, but I cannot say she did not do a good job. There was nothing to hate and no negative aspect to see. That is why I give Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula a rating of four out of four stars.
I recommend Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula to young readers between three and twelve because I know it is best suited to them. This, however, does not mean that anyone above that age bracket should not read it. I am convinced it will appeal to great animal lovers, especially those who like cats and hamsters.
