5 Out of 5 Stars: My Friend Willie....
Amazon Review By chris on January 31, 2000
I say that because after reading this book I feel like I've come to know both Willie and Spit, as well as a few of his other great characters. As the author said, his loving, personal sketch of Spit is really much more, a drawing together of so many meaningful threads in his own eventful life. His travels with the large white cat are his way of sharing his family and social history with his best friend, and its a time for remebering too. Perhaps the most poignant moment in the story is Willie's image of his, and for a longer period, Spit's, waiting for the return of their beloved companion Harper, who never comes back. Now Spit is waiting again, peering out the door for Willie. Yet maybe its like Willie promised, if ever he gets to heaven, he's going to find Skip and all those relatives who went before him waiting to welcome him. Someday Spit with be united with him again, Willie believed that and I want to believe it too, for Willie and Spit and for all of us. On the last page of the book, Willie is holding the big cat on his lap and says to him, "Spitty, I love you." We chould all do that more often with the ones we care most about...this is a book about a cat and a special friendship, its a book of laughter and tears, its a book for everybody. I'm lucky to have known Willie Morris for just a moment, for far too short a time.
