Simply put, this is the best book I have read in years! It tugs at you constantly and in every direction. You must read it, you can not, will not, be disappointed

I loved this book. I also cried through the world book. It was a wonderful journey through life and death as seen through the honest eyes of a dog.

Inspiring, honest, and perfectly written!

I'm a dog lover and wanted to like this story so much. I'm actually shocked it's gotten such wonderful reviews. Basically, it would be an okay book for a fifth grader, but unbelievably flat, boring, dull and silly for an adult. It seems like a middle schooler wrote it! The story is so lame and uneventful. I'm embarrassed to have finished it, but kept thinking (hoping) it could get richer/deeper. Sorry to say... you need to pass on this book... it's plain DUMB!

I loved this book!!! A unique perspective on life from a canine point of view, which I found myself ageeing with more often than not. On my list of all time favorites and highly recommended to dog lovers everywhere.

I found this story one of the most charming I've read in a long time. I am the volunteer coordinator at an animal shelter, a dog show judge, and a dog breeder, and I am not normally enamored with a story written by the dog, but this one is the exception. If you have watched a beloved pet grow older and infirmed you will understand this character, the dog named Enzo. If you are a dog lover, a person whose dog is a member of the family, you will enjoy this book. If you are not a dog lover then it is clearly not a book for you. I am buying a copy of this book for each of my volunteers as a holiday gift.
