Book Review of Lily and the Octopus

Lily and the Octopus
reviewed on + 66 more book reviews


Well, this was a strange book, but it was really good. I enjoyed reading it. The main character (besides Lily, the dog) is the dog's owner. He and the dog play board games together and have conversations, and do other things dogs don't usually do (with people or with other dogs!). I don't usually read 'fantasy' novels, but I didn't want to stop reading and its not really fantasy in this book. Toward the end, I realized there probably is a lot of soul-searching and symbolism in the book, but that's too deep for me! Enjoy!
