I was manipulated severely by this book (and I loved it). Enzo 4 ever.

it's so strange how awful i found this book. poorly written, slow, cliché sappiness everywhere, yet i couldn't put it down and i had to finish it. is there a genre for dumb Seattle place dropping weirdness? if so, this is it. ...more

Wonderful story, told through the eyes of the family dog. I would recommend this book to all dog-lovers.

I read a friend's review of this and decided to add it to my queue. It also happens to be written by a local author, and I've got a goal to read a handful of local author works a year. I finished this in a day in finals week. I couldn't put it down.

A good book, I think, for anyone who's loved a dog.

I love the way Enzo changes his relationship with Eve.

Reminds me of the bridges of Madison county--overwritten, overwrought and plain dumb at times. The characters were flat stereotypes and the plot expected. I love my dogs but realize their intellectual capacity. The ending in doggie heaven did the book completely in. Silly and trite at best.
