Prince of Cats by Ron Wimberly
3.0
dark fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

The Prince of Cats was not my thing, but I enjoyed the urban twist on it. I didn’t know what they were saying half the time as I am not a Shakespeare person.  But I got the gist of it. Tibalt is a bad ass with no regard for anyone else. Lots of senseless violence, shooting, nudity, and some use of the n-word. While not a requirement to read Romeo and Juliet to enjoy this story, I think it is best to read it first or know about it to understand the ending. I thought it funny Romeo is this corny dude, while everyone else is tough looking. This story does a lot of jumping around and is confusing.  Not my cup of tea, but definitely unique.
