Title: A Friend Called Alfie
The Sunday Times bestseller returns for a sixth book! Alfie and his mischievous kitten George are back for more adventures – this time with a puppy in tow…
At Christmas time we all need a friend…
Alfie and his kitten, George, have always known that a human is for life and not just for Christmas. So when George learns that one of the residents of Edgar Road has been taken into hospital, he realises it’s up to him to provide some comfort at this difficult time of year.
The only problem is that they now have a little puppy in tow – Pickles the Pug, who is convinced he can be a cat if only he sticks with his new found friends.
As George tries to do everything he can to make the world – and its humans – happier, Alfie struggles to keep Pickles in check and out of trouble. Because even the best laid plans can be destroyed by a well-meaning – but mischievous – little puppy…
Join Alfie, George – and now Pickles – as they come to the rescue of some lonely souls. The perfect read for fans of James Bowen from the Sunday Times bestseller.
I have no idea where to begin with this review other than saying this is a purrfect festive read, that is incredibly funny but also full of an important message about being lonely at Christmas.
I loved the new addition to Alfie and George's family, Pickles the Pug. Pickles is determined to be the best cat he can be which leads to all sorts of hilarious antics, and fabulous lines. He really isn't the smartest of puppies, and is just that bit mischievous too, without really intending to be.
Seeing the cat's friendship group essentially adopt a dog is so amusing.
And then there is George who is growing up before our very eyes and now has let's just say a close friendship with a female cat which is so cute to see, as well his determination to get a job. I loved George's job, I had guessed what it might be and the section leading up to Alfie discovering what his son is up to was so amusing.
These cats have such human qualities to them, and are far smarter then their humans, although all the 2 legged people in this book are great too, and I enjoyed catching up with them.
Then there is Alfie's own love life, which seems complicated, and the fact he is forever being tasked with puppy sitting!! I mean a cat looking after a dog, when have you ever seen that before, but yet it felt so believable.
There are so many subplots and threads running through this book, it was like watching a tv series but being able to binge watch it so you didn't miss a thing!!
I adore Alfie, George and the rest of the felines (both real ones and the pug), and this has cemented itself to my mind as a series I need to continue to follow forever as I love the characters and writing so much.
Thank you to Avon and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
