Title: It's a dog
Product review: I really wanted to like this book. A wonderfully creative concept serves as the story's skeleton, but the author's writing and plotting failed to bring the creation to life for me. Her prose style is occasionally luminous, but not often enough so to make up for gaping plot holes, a lackluster pace, and a weak-willed protagonist. Ultimately an unsatisfying read made all the more disappointing by the squandered potential of its high concept and an obviously talented writer unable to quite fit all the pieces together in this debut novel.
