OMG!! I finally finished this freakin' book! A first novel for the author. Overall the story is enjoyable, well-written, but contains a bit too much detail about dogs, their training and breeding for me. The characters are well developed, including the dogs. The main character is a boy with no vocal ability to speak. He has enriching relationships with his family and the family dogs. He endures his own coming of age journey. A great book for dog lovers who enjoy reading long stories. Not my favorite book, but Stephen King loved it, so what do I know? P.S. I would rather actually read the real Hamlet.
