This is a delightful little tale that is fun to pick up and reread every so often. It is fun and leaves a good feeling with the reader. A fairy tale for adults.

I must say I enjoyed this book, which is essentially a fairy tale. It doesn't match up to the writing in the earlier Dragon books but it's still a good read and is in Anne McCaffrey's usual well written style. There is of course a happy ending with a cleverly thought out and very suitable end to the villainness! There is the feeling too that there could be more stories to come about the characters in it.

I have nearly all of Anne McCaffrey's books and was well pleased with this addition to the library.

I have to admit, I had my doubts about this book, and they were pretty major. For one, I had never read anything by Anne McCaffrey before, and for another, my exceptionally patronizing (the worst part is she tries to pretend she's not) aunt was the one who recommended it to me. However, I thoroughly enjoyed No One Noticed the Cat. If not worth buying, it at least warrants a few reads after checking it out from the library.

Mangan, the regent of Esphania, dies happy, knowing he has left someone behind who will lead the young Prince Jamas to where he needs to be as a ruler. However, this `someone' is different then most would think: a cat called Niffy. But, in her own subtle way, she is wise. And, as Jamas' life and kingdom are threatened by an ambitious queen and an eager king, Jamas needs all the help he can get.

Though most of the summaries are a little dramatized and the plot is not as adventurous as they promise it to be, this is still a worthwhile book. It's so short it does not really matter that the outcome is obvious, and McCaffrey has a nice, if not a little eccentric, style, at least in this book. All in all, if you're not sure, check it out at the library, but if you like the sounds of it, I'd go ahead and buy it.
