Review title: A terrific premise...
Product review: Well, I have rather mixed feelings about this book. I always enjoy a good dog book - and this one certainly had points that were good, but I was a bit bogged down by the style. It feels overly wordy, with few sympathetic characters and contains no women to speak of. There are some interesting characters and aspects - I particularly like the depiction of Snitter's madness. The premise is quite interesting and I would have liked it more had it been executed in a different way. Really, the ending is the entire book's saving grace. Overall, it seems that Diane Jessup'sThe Dog Who Spoke with Gods, may have been inspired by this. It most certainly shares the theme of depicting animal cruelty - though they both display about it in a different way. Jessup's novel is a much more engaging novel.
