Title: Hokey stories starring an unbecomingly self-satisfied author
Review: There are two things that make this book a surprising disappointment. One may not be a problem for everyone, though I find it annoying and unattractive, ie, the repetitive and slightly self-important harping on 'giving a breed a chance' and 'being gentle.' For some, that makes it a crossover, feel-good book with links to human relationships. For me, PW got it right with this line: "reiterates these two themes ad nauseam, illustrating them in long-winded and meandering anecdotes."But the other problem is that it's very poorly written. Rashid, who probably has a thousand great stories, needed a good editor who could have cleaned up and sharpened his material.
Is the review positive or negative?
