Title: Would have been a good magazine article
Product review: My dogsitter insisted I read this book, exclaiming over Matthew Scully's elogquent writing and the fact that he wrote Sarah Palin's very inspiring acceptance speech at the Republican convention. His material here would have made an interesting speech or in depth article. Yes, his writing is eloquent. Yes, it's an interesting subject. But it takes a right wing Christian turn at every opportunity. It's not spiritual, it's political. It's difficult to read for more than a few pages because you feel yourself being stuffed with this Christian, animal rights viewpoint. Sometimes I choose to read politically slanted biographies or histories, but I know before I start which viewpoint I'll be getting. His book is good and maybe he will get a lot of converts to his way of thinking. I found myself wondering if he had any pets.
