I found this book by Deric Longden very funny and I really laughed July 23, 2008
I found this book by Deric Longden very funny indeed and I laughed a lot. I thought that it was very funny in the motorway cafe when the Irishman came up to Deric and the Irishman's teeth were moving about.

Deric is very good at describing; the cat's antics and about life in general.

On a serious note I was concerned to read that Deric had been ill but I hope that things are OK for him now.

I have some books of Deric's on my shelf so I look forward to reading them.

All the best to Deric and Aileen and a great book.

Wonderful as ever June 11, 2008

This is another wonderful book from my favourite author and well worth the wait, although it is sad to hear Deric has been ill.

This book had much sadder undertones as Deric contemplated the reality of ageing for both himself, Aileen and the cats. Only Deric has ever managed to move me from laughter to tears in a couple of paragraphs and I read the book in one sitting (one very late night).

I'm originally from Huddersfield, with family still there, so there is the added element of knowing exactly the places he is talking about, especially the Midland Bank in a cupboard - it really is tiny!

Everytime I go back I'm always on the look out for him when I am in Marsh or Greenhead Park,and keep my eyes peeled for Tigger or Thermal (local heroes).

I am in two minds about wishing for another book. I never tire of his writing but any future book is bound to be tinged with more sadness as Thermal and Tigger age and Deric's health is in the balance - this is real not fiction.

I wish them all health and happiness, and thinking about it - another book!

Totally hilarious! November 17, 2007

I've read Deric's other books and thoroughly enjoyed them, so I wasn't expecting this one to be any different. It wasn't!

Back after a fairly long illness, Deric is on top form and I recommend this book to anyone wanting a laugh. This book is a laugh a minute and if you're owned by cats yourself, you'll relate to it even more!

More books please, Deric!

deric longden is back November 3, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

After a few years away from writing due to illness Deric Longden is back with Paws In The Proceedings...and what a return, back to his hilarious life living with a various assortment of cats, once you start reading it's as if he's never been away. Still living with Thermal who is now well into his old age and doesn't get about as much as he used to but still manages to amuse with his antics. Let's hope that now Deric's illness has been sorted and he keeps taking the tablets that he'll soon be back with yet more offerings.

Fantastic read! October 24, 2007

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and laughed out loud at many of the passages. I can definitely recommend it as a Christmas present for any animal lover, possibly as a companion for 'Pets in Prospect' by Malcolm D. Welshman. The two books make an excellent 'double act'!
