Helpful Score: 5
An epic novel. A coming of age tale about a boy's struggle to interpret and cope with events that impact his family.
Top notch writing. Worthy of much book club discussion (especially the allusions to Shakespeare's Hamlet), yet not so literary that it's a boring read for one that's not really inclined to study the themes.
Major plot line around breeding and training dogs. Protagonist is a mute boy (but that's not the key story line)
Don't read the dust jacket of the book if you want to be surprised by key events.
At times very interesting, at times scattered. I'm glad to have it on my "Books I've Read Resume" but I won't consider it a favorite.
3 stars out of 5
