He has such clarity is telling it, and yet it is so not self centered... if that makes any sense. I love it.<br /><br />My hatred of the twis ultimately brought me back to the book, but I just couldn't see how anyone could be so evil. Who could plan to hit a man/father when he was at his lowest. I just can't imagine that people like that exist. Through this book I found a tender and vulnerable spot in my heart that I didn't know existed. <br /><br />It really is a great book.<br /><br />PS Liz... I do love the doggy revenge that Enzo could dish out! =)Jaggers Brainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08546842589476757587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601324573917570989.post-74816065413671655642012-08-11T10:11:55.981-07:002012-08-11T10:11:55.981-07:00I agree with Carrie--I had to make sure the twins ...I agree with Carrie--I had to make sure the twins didn't win! <br /><br />It's a classic tool of storytelling--to have an animal as the narrator. It forces you to see the world of humanity differently and maybe more objectively. I liked that Enzo's perspective helped me examine my own. <br /><br />I also LOVED when Enzo used his "dog-ness" to exact revenge on the twins...the whole pepper episode. I laughed out loud with delight. Perhaps not very Christian of me, but oh, it was brilliant.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17843219433075940501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601324573917570989.post-73960727666589956172012-08-11T09:09:46.444-07:002012-08-11T09:09:46.444-07:00Here's what I really love about this book:
The...Here's what I really love about this book:<br />The dog is not telling telling the story as some observer on the sidelines- he is telling HIS story. He is talking about HIS family and HIS emotions and HIS frustrations, all of which go deeper than "I just want you to refill my water bowl." <br /><br />Unlike you, I hated the twins so much, I couldn't STOP reading. I think I finished this book in 2 days the first time I read it. <br /><br />I didn't read the other book, because it was on hold at the library and and I didn't get it until July 31st... sigh.Carrie Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08209518269608948257noreply@blogger.com
