Book Description

The Catwoman is hiding out on a mirage, surrounded by 50 cats, her orchards and fear. Gifted with nine lives by her first mother, Kat has lived through witch hunts, ignorance, and dire poverty. Now in her fifth life, she only wants refuge . . . until Angelo convinces her to teach. She teaches the "latrine version" of history - that lived by real people. She teaches about fear, violence, ignorance, poverty, and hunger, mesmerizing her students with her (real-life) stories. But when tragedy strikes, will the witch hunts begin again for the woman who is "too well-liked by cats?"

We all need a few more lives.......2007-07-30

I thought this was an awesome book; a fresh tale that moves quickly to the point. I would recommend this book to my non-cat-lover friends. I enjoyed it very much.

Would love more.......2007-02-05

This really is a wonderful book. I have loaned it to about ten people (men and women) so far and have had to buy three copies; a couple of them begged to keep their copy. Many people told me it was one of their favorite books, and this group has done a lot of reading for decades! I have tried to get some information about Kathleen Dexter and any other books she has written, but I cannot find anything. All I can do is hope that she will publish again.

Fabulous Reading!.......2005-08-18

What fun reading this novel was! Within such a fanciful setting, the characters are so wonderfully realistic. All my emotions were engaged in the unfolding of this story - I smiled, I laughed, I got annoyed and felt sad. The descriptions are so vivid that I could swear I know where the mesa is located and I KNOW I've met some of the people. I only wish that I had had someone like Kat for my history teacher.

"fifth life of the cat woman" is a great read for pure enjoyment and also for the thinly-veiled moral. This book was lent to me by a friend, but I've bought my own copy - it's on loan to another friend right now!

Strangely beautiful.......2005-07-26

Not sure how to categorize this book...it is unlike anything I've ever read. I don't usually enjoy stories with a supernatural twist but I LOVED this book. Dexter's writing is exquisite and the story is compelling. I found myself actually considering the possibility that someone could be part cat/part human! This is one of those books you're sad to finish.

Exquisite.......2005-05-20

I picked up the book as an impulse buy, adrift on a remnants table in a local bookshop. I liked the sound of the blurb but I had no idea what to expect. My God, what a find! I have rarely, and certainly not recently before this, been so enthralled by any book. I cannot find the words to recommend it highly enough - it made me laugh with its wickedly accurate portrayal of cats and cry with its equally wickedly accurate portrayal of people. This author has a rare gift. I don't know if she's written anything else but I intend to find out - and to grab every precious word of it if she has. Unbelievable. Exquisite. Spellbinding. Get it today.

Not for South Beach Dieters.......2007-09-28

I gave this one star without even trying a recipe. While this book has a good variety of recipes which are "low carb", if you are following South Beach, don't buy it! It uses lots of butter, cream and fatty meats! I will be returning my copy.

Extremely Helpful!.......2006-09-28

This was my first Dana Carpenter book. I had already been introduced to the low carb way of eating, but Dana's book makes it so much more interesting! Her humor and healthy tips inspire me to be faithful. The variety of recipes expand my menu ideas considerably, and also are a springboard for recipes of my own creation.

Because I liked this book so much, I also bought Volume 1 of "500 Recipes" cookbook for myself and 3 others. This second volume, however, is my favorite. I also just purchased Dana's "How I Gave Up My Low Fat Diet and Lost 40 LBS." book, and am enjoying it very much, which I heartily recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about lo carb eating, and also to those who need motivation to continue. It is full of excellent health info.

If you need new recipe ideas, or instruction on how to eat low carb, Dana provides it all in a fun and interesting way. Dana is a great mentor on the path of a low carb lifestyle!

wonderful low carb everyday stuff.......2006-05-04

I feel that Dana is an old friend as she always adds little tips and comments every thing I have made as turned out wonderful I love her little extra comments I have all her books so far

Should have been named "Cooking for Dummies".......2006-04-17

IF you already know how to cook this book is an "insult" - it's so basic it's laughable. Plus most of the more "interesting" recipes can be found online at any of several low-carb web sites. I also found that there were editorial mistakes - like the temperature which to bake a cheescake was eliminated. And mistakes on the author's part in which she does not indicate the size pan to use - which DOES make a difference in the final outcome of any baked item. The author also uses ingredients that are HARD to come by in her recipes without giving substitutes.

All in all I was quite disappointed! But in all fairness - it would be a good "starting" cookbook for those folks who are lacking in the culinary arts.

Dr Pitcairns natural health.......2007-10-05

This is absolutely a must book. Giving dogs prescribed medications often involves side affects which shorten their lives. Being able to find out about natural products that can help them is great. It can not only lenghten their lives, but also cost less in the long run. I highly reccomend this book to all dog owners.

great resource.......2007-10-01

this is a great resource book. It has lots of background info on dog foods and so much info on great supplements. It could be made easier with breakdowns or charts to guide you for quicker reference, because I find myself having to flip back and forth a lot. There is definitely lots of info and it has to be read more than once. I think the recipes are sound and easy to make. Although I can't cook for my dogs all the time, at least I can do it whenever they are ill or recovering from some ailment or surgery to ensure that their bodies are strong when they need to heal. This book makes it manageable to do that.

A great resource.......2007-09-23

This book is a great resource for pet owners. I find the health-care section of the book very useful. I have modified the recipes to accomodate the inherited allery issues my dog has. Modifying the recipes is a very involved process as the substituion of products recommended and appropriate amounts required for balanced nutrition can be a hassle to figure out, especially, if one's pet was allergic to multiple products.

This is a great book for pet owners who want to try homemade cooking and alternative medicine for their pets.

Excellent overall but diet not suited for all .......2007-09-01

There is more than one way to feed a healthy, non-commercial diet. I recommend buying both Dr. Pitcairn's book and Andi Brown's book, The Whole Piet Diet, to see which diet your animal(s) prefer. I have three pets, two 13-yr. old cats and one 1 1/2-yr old terrier. The cats had been eating holistic Blue Buffalo dry food along with some canned Friskies. The terrier was eating holistic Blue Buffalo dry food along with some raw meat, veggies, yogurt, etc. I recently learned that dry food is difficult for pets to digest and is terribly drying and causes digestive problems like vomiting, dandruff, etc. The Friskies is just plain junk food so I decided that I was going to feed healthier fare and bought both books (Dr. Pitcairn wrote the foreword in Andi's book). While Dr. Pitcairn promotes primarily raw meats with cooked whole grains, Andi Brown promotes cooked stews (grains included for dogs only, not cats). After experimentation, I found that my dog and one cat prefer Dr. Pitcairn's recipes and my second cat prefers Spot's Stew (from Andi's book). When I made the switch, I only started feeding the recipes without supplements to the cats. It took 15 days for them to eat consistently, then I started adding the supplements in small amounts and gradually built up to the daily recommended amounts. Tip: my cats preferred Andi's supplements over Dr. Pitcairn's (especially the essential fatty acids in the form of oils). All of my pets are doing very well on the diets but only because I was persistent in finding what worked best for each pet. I will never feed dry food again!

It's a shame..........2007-08-29

...that an obviously experienced and well researched vetrinarian would recommend a diet that includes grain as one of the staples of the diet. Anyone who does even a minor amount of research about the special diet needs of a dog would easily find that dogs do not possess the proper enzymes to break down grain properly and can lead to either minor or serious allergic reactions. Dogs should not eat any type of grain at any time. Anyone who reads this book, do not take it as gospel. Please do more in-depth research before you make any solid decisions on your dogs diet.

Besides that fault, there are only a few recipies included in this rather long book. I heard very good things about this book before I bought it and was thoroughly disappointed after I read it. Its hard to give this book anything else but a negative review.
