Title: Disappointing and overwritten!
Review: I've got to admit, I did not finish Sight Hound -- as a matter of fact, it was a struggle with the gag reflex even to get to page 100. Most "dog novels" hold my interest, even if the writing leaves something to be desired, but this one was pretentious, overwritten and self-conscious from the beginning. The dogs did not even appeal! It seemed as though the author took pauses to say "Look at me, I'm writing" -- applause breaks? Well, I'm not applauding!
