"This is the third and final in a series of three about Norton, a Scottish fold cat owned by author Peter Gethers.
Spoiler alert! Spoiler alert! Spoiler alert! If you don't want to know the spoiler, skip this commentary! Norton dies in this book. For some silly reason when I fvirst picked up this book to read several years ago, even though the title says The Final Adventures, I did not realize the cat was going to die. I read this book and laughed out loud and chuckled and giggled and just had a very nice time until it dawned on me that Norton was not going to make it, but by then I was too invested to stop reading.
I am so glad I continued. Gethers describes Norton's passing with gentleness, and joy in the living and shared experiences they had together. I bawled my eyes out. I sobbed. Then I laughed some more, and when I finally finished the book I went and hugged my animals and immediately ordered a copy of the book for a few of my friends because I thought it was important enough to share in all its beauty.
I would recommend this book to just about anyone from age young adult on up. The only people I might not recommend this to are people who will be offended that Gethers is essentially agnostic/athiest and states so in the book as he is telling a story about Norton. If you're going to get hung up on it, then you should pass. But for anyone else, especially animal-lovers, this is a must-read. It's got everything a book should have - laughter, love, kinship, good food, exotic locales, tears, truths, wit, and heart. Definitely a keeper."
"Having read the first two books, I now felt like a personal friend of Peter Gethers and Norton. Was totally devastated when Norton contracted cancer, but in awe of how Peter handled this final period of his beloved cat. Absolutely wonderful."
