Title: Duldrum and Dull Dogs
Product review: Okay. You are exploring an unknown universe, where smells, color, sound, memory and experience take on an entirely different nature. How do you make it interesting? Avoid writing like Stanley Coren. Not only does he make the most wonderful details mundane, but he makes the most mundane details downright unbearable! His dispassionate matter-of-fact approach makes me wonder if he wrote the book just to have one on his resume, or whether he's a finance journalist turned dog-writer. I like heavy scholarly texts, newspapers and everything documentary. But this one missess the mark in my opinion...His personal stories and tests are funny and sometimes even amusing. His description of his dogs makes them lovable and vivid. But the riddle is why he fails to continue writing in that style and why the book, which is a great topic, dies as soon as your eyes hit it. If you're fascinated by this topic, or you love your animals (like me), than pass over this one and find another.
