Title: Too Much Amory, Too Little Cat
Review: Amory's habit of name dropping and reminiscing, amusing in his earlier titles about Polar Bear, eliminates much of the charm of this book. The tale of his failed attempt to write a biography of the Duchess of Windsor was interesting, but it had no relevance whatsoever to Polar Bear the cat. His wandering thoughts on his relationship with Harvard was more petty than amusing. The condolence note from Ingrid Newkirk after Polar Bear's death is just plain creepy in light of some of the PETA scandals involving animal shelters. I'm really glad I picked the book up used at a fundraiser for my local library; at least my money went to a worthwhile cause.
