A few weeks ago (you might remember), I posted five reasons why I thought you should read the bestselling novel A Dog's Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron.
You might also remember that at the end of the post, I mentioned that the sequel, A Dog's Journey (pictured above) - in which Buddy, the dog protagonist, finds himself on a life journey with a different human, Ethan's granddaughter, Clarity - had just hit the shelves and that I'd be reading it as soon as I could get my hands on a local library copy.
Well, I did. And I have. And here's what I think, starting with why you shouldn't read the book:
If you haven't read A Dog's Purpose yet. Trust me. Now, hurry up and read A Dog's Purpose!
And, the reasons why you should:
1 - 4) Refer to the first four reasons why I said you should read the first book. The same reasons apply here.
5) The dog's human is a girl/teenager/woman, which might make the story more relatable to female readers (it was to me). At a minimum, it demonstrates (in literary form) that dogs form equally strong bonds with humans of both sexes.
6) It's just plain fun.
Happy reading!
(P.S. I'll see you back here on Friday.)
Nice second review. Have a great day with the Olympics.

Adding this to my (huge) to-read list!
ReplyDeletei tried the first one, but it was just too much uncertainty and sadness for me. so I stopped. (that was just the first 20 pages) I'm such a chicken
ReplyDeleteIf I ever find time to read a book, rather than a blog, again, this one is high on my list. ;) lol
