A Dog's Purpose

[Bari]

By W. Bruce Cameron. A good read and very thought-provoking.

This was just highly recommended by a local bookseller on our NPR station.

I have it in my class library, and one of my students read it and immediately insisted that I read it too. Unfortunately, it was the end of the year and I packed it and lost it in a box somewhere.

Someone in my agility class just recommended this to me today. It's got hugely good reviews on Amazon and it's out in paperback ... I will probably read it. I think I was initially turned off by reviews that compared it to "Marley and Me." Was I the only person who couldn't stand "Marley and Me"?

Ha! My mom asked me about Marley & Me. I told her it was a great movie to learn exactly what NOT to ever do with a puppy/dog. Drove me crazy!

[Bari]

Nope - I hated it.

I did not like Marley and me and I need to try this book out.

A friend gave it to me, I'm still on the beginning and i must say the amount of anthropomorphism bothers me. That first person style in which its written is somehow uncomfortable. I find myself pondering the author's outlook on dominance theories more than on the plot.

I read the beginning of Marley and Me and i enjoyed the style in which it was written but the people were such idiots it was frustrating...

a big ol :yeahthat: to Tatyana.

Based on all I heard about it, never read or watched M and M. So, you are not alone!
