Soseki Natsume's comic masterpiece, I Am a Cat, satirizes the foolishness of upper-middle class Japanese society during the Meiji era. With acerbic wit and sardonic perspective, it follows the whimsical adventures of a world-weary stray kitten who comments on the follies and foibles of the people around him. A classic of Japanese literature, I Am a Cat is one of Soseki's best-known novels. Considered by many as the greatest writer in modern Japanese history, Soseki's I Am a Cat is a classic novel sure to be enjoyed for years to come.

The foreword spoils the ending
Reviewed: 07-15-22
I really did enjoy this book and the narrator did an excellent job, but as the header says the foreword of the translator tells you exactly how the story ends and that made it quite hard to enjoy. I'm very firmly in the camp of its not the journey it's the ending so having the whole point of reading a book ruined before it begins put a damper on it. It's a good book, just skip the foreword if you get this.

An interview recorded on an iPhone. A police interrogation tape. An FBI wire. At the center of them all is a writer researching a legal thriller...or is he? And somewhere within those recordings is the truth about a murder trial and a web of lies stretching back three decades.

Amazing performance, overworked plot

A well made disappointment

Was hooked for the first two acts despite some of the blunt dialogue that comes with all audio dramas. Stuff like characters saying what they're doing because the audience can't see it. It was a solid and engaging mystery, however the ending really ruined it for me. Wouldn't really suggest this to anyone I know.
