Title: Blue Cats and Chartreuse Kittens

Number of Pages: 208 

         The book, "Blue Cats and Chartreuse Kittens" is basically an autobiography because the author is the main character! Patricia Lynne Duffy is the author of this book! She talks about facts and she gives in examples from her life! I really like the short stories about her life because those are the only interesting parts. I love how she has synesthesia and how she tells us what she is seeing on the screen while she is typing, (colors) and how she worms in experiences that connect to what she is trying to say! The parts I don't like in the book are the parts where lots of facts are listed. Patricia Lynne Duffy has synesthesia and she also has dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes. Patricia is also very smart and very secretive! Imagine having synesthesia and not telling anyone for 16 years! "We remembered that, under his guidence, I'd learned to write all of the letters very quickly except for the letter R. "Until one day," I said to my father, "I realized that to make an R all I had to do was first write P and then draw a line down from its loop. And I was so surprised that I could turn a yellow letter into an orange letter just by adding a line" Yellow letter? Orange letter?" my father said. "What do you mean?"Well you know," I said. "P is a yellow letter, but R is an orange letter. You know- the colors of the letter." "The colors of the letter?" my father said. (Pg. 2). 

In her book she doesn't give any examples but I do have a picture of her! Patricia also dyed her hair a couple of times.

In conclusion I would like to learn more about her and if she wrote any other books! If she has then I would like to read them!
