If you like cats, buy this book immediately!!

Gwen is very descriptive in her writing allowing the reader to visualize the story she is telling. A heartfelt book that any animal lover would enjoy! God Bless Gwen Cooper Lerman!

This is a wonderful story of how a cat can influence one's life. It is well-written and true to life. The author has a wonderful sense of humor and often waxes philosophical about life and its tribulations. A very good read, especially if you love felines and their quirks.

I adore this and have given as a gift to a friend who just adopted a cat who's faced some challenges. It's a testament to the remarkable to flat out incredible skills and gifts cats have been given whether Darwin process or God, or _____. Whatever it is, cats are bestowed with amazing physicality and intelligence like in this story, plus will to live and thrive many creatures possess. Very inspiring and well written.

Every cat lover will speed through this delightful book following life with Homer. It was very interesting especially the effect of 9/11.

It's a great quick read. Obviously I'm a cat guy and really appreciate people who take care of the ones with issues.

This book was a good read. The cat was lucky to find this woman to take care of him.

Very happy with my purchase, book is in excellent condition, fast shipping and adorable but secure packaging, would buy from this seller again 😊

I enjoyed reading of Homer’s many adventures and the strength of his character. Indeed, he led an incredible life. Kudos to his “ Mom” for all she did .

I am loving this book. I really feel like I'm experiencing the stories about Homer as I am reading them about him. What an inspirational feline he was!!!

This book is about a blind kitten and how he learns to live with his disability, astounding the people who get to know him. It is especially interesting later in the book when he and his owner are living in NYC during the bombing of the Twin Towers.

I started reading this and couldn't put it down. It relatable, and captivating. I have given it to friends and they agreed. A MUST read for cat lovers!

I am a massive cat lover having (currently) five cats of my own as well as tending a colony of community cats who now live in my yard, so I was prepared to like a book about a cat. I knew about Homer from his online fame, but had never been told his history. Homer’s Odyssey is certainly a book about Homer and his remarkable life, but it also a book about how Homer’s approach to life gave the author the courage and fortitude to make changes in her own life to better fulfill her then inchoate dreams. The book only covers Homer’s first eleven years and I cannot wait to read about his later life and about Gwen Cooper’s other cats and cat experiences. I heartily recommend this book to cat lovers, pet lovers, and anyone who enjoys reading about remarkable lives.

I loved this story, so well told. I'm not a cat person but I heard about Homer on NPR and ordered the book. I was so happy I did. It will open your eyes to the the way cats behave and how unique an animal they are. I have new respect, even affection now for cats. I have given several copies of this book as gifts and every recipient also loved the book and told me it was the perfect read during this miserable pandemic. In previous years I told the story many times to my students, from 2nd grade to 5th and they loved Homer and his owner. I gave it to a retiree who I sensed was lonely and she couldn't thank me enough. It's just a great, surprising story.

I love books about pets and have read quite a few, but Homer's Odyssey stands out to me as the very best. Gwen Cooper seamlessly weaves pathos and laugh out loud humor in a book that will make you shed tears of heartache and joy. Homer is a remarkable cat and so are his "sisters," Scarlett and Vashti who make delightful secondary characters. Alternately set in Florida and New York, the book takes readers on a fast-paced odyssey along with Homer. If you love animals - and the spirit of hope and resilience - then you will adore Homer's Odyssey!
