"A sometimes scurrilous, thoroughly smart and somewhat eccentric book. Frankie himself is a very cool feline, self-assured and a touch egocentric." —Goslarsche Zeitung

"This novel is an almost perfect balancing-act of joie de vivre and death wish, light-heartedness and heartbreaking sorrow." —Der Stern

"This spring’s quirkiest comedy is a bout a properly odd couple: a man who’s tired of life, and a flippant tom cat." —Playboy

"Funny, flippant and sad." —Donna

"Amidst gruff dialogue, philosophical anecdotes and situation comedy, a close friendship blossoms between man and beast. A melancholic but nevertheless entertaining story." —Berliner Morgenpost

"A droll, enchanting and moving story about an unusual friendship, and finding your way back to life." —Mein Magazin

"A novel told from the point of view of a cat who . . . helps a man rediscover his lust for life . . . it’s wonderfully un-kitschy." —Focus

"A light-pawed novel for when the world isn’t as it should be." —Kulturtipp
