Helpful Score: 2

This is one of the best books I have read lately. I am a dog lover, but this book is more then that. The writer lets you explore your own feelings about the characters in the book, just nibbling at the outer fringes of their story. I loved how the author went into the mind of the characters and what they were thinking, especially Almondine. Be prepared for heartbreak, but some glimmer of hope in the power of unconditional love and forgiveness. I must say, the book haunted me for weeks after I finished reading it. Be prepared for this emotional wave, if the book touches you as it had touched me. I read there are aspirations of making this into a movie. I cannot imagine how a movie could touch on all the finer feelings, and imagery, this book emits. In a way, I hope a movie is not attempted, and let this masterpiece remain a story in print only.
