Title: A half-hearted effort ...
Review: I found this simplistic effort at sentamentalist prose more than a bit trite. There are a myriad of valuable and beneficial books out there for the grieving process when one loses one's pet but the author's vague references to pseudo-heartfelt sentiment left me unconvinced. How often do we need to hear about the digestive habits of one's pet I ask you when it is reduced to the level of flatulation?? We get it already. You miss your dog. Must it be the "stuff" of publication?It's just another, in my opinion, in the stream of banal coffee table efforts that comes from the Penninsula that used to be Cape Cod. But again I don't anything decent has been penned on that spit of land since Henry David Thoreau visited it and left in the 1850s.
Is the review positive or negative?
