From Mini Book Blog ~ This is a novel about science and love and spiritual understanding. It is about a beautiful dog, a beautiful woman, a crabby school teacher, and men acting like boys. This book has ideas about marriage, large animals and inner peace. Along the way there is some frank discussion, room for error and more than a few laughs. In the end, everyone lives happily ever after.This book wasn't what I was expecting. I love reading books about dogs and I thought there would be more of a focus on a dog. That was the attraction to me.
I found the writing style a bit painful.
I wanted to like this book because of it's title and because it's written by a Canadian author ... but I'm sad to say that I didn't.
Not the style I like, I guess.
Since you like dog stories, have you read Marley and Me? I've never laughed so hard, but I have to warn you that if you do decide to read it, you will need tissues in the final chapters. The movie is coming out Christmas Day, but I don't think I'd be able to get through it :(
ReplyDeleteI loved "Marley and Me" ... I'm looking forward to the movie.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up on this one. I hate when I find a book that looks like it has so much promise....and then turns into a stinkeroo.
