I
obtained a copy of this book through a giveaway on GoodReads and the following
is my honest opinion.
My
dear OH and I, having no children, have been cat lovers for years, which is why
I couldn’t resist trying to win a copy of this book.
Ms.
Petrova has done a marvelous job with her book, beginning with the tragic death
of her dear mother and how Zarathustra became her cat and had her come out the
depression she found herself in. The author is quite fortunate to have bonded
with her cat the way she has because of their independence and elusiveness. She
is also fortunate to have had a mother who taught everything she knew, as well
as curiosity and willingness to look at different fields, this ultimately led
her to develop the artistic skills used in creating the art which is displayed
in this book.
However,
this book wouldn’t have been possible if it hadn’t been for her cat, who loved
to be a show-off by posing in different positions on his own so he could be
photographed by Ms. Petrova. The author then sought out the perfect
masterpieces painted by all the famous artists in the world which she get high
resolution images of, and then artistically and painstakingly photoshop the
photos she had of her cat onto.
To
add to the enjoyment of each of her finished pictures the author has combined
the historical points about each one as well as having the cat presence in the
now improved masterpiece explained.
I
believe this book makes for a pleasant reading experience for all cat and art
lovers. Given the pictures in this book and the quality of the paper being
used, this price is quite reasonable when compared to other books out there. I’m
therefore happy to give this book 5 STARS.
