My husband felt it was more of a lecture than a story. I enjoyed it though, it is definitely trying to make people more aware of the illegal activities of numerous puppy mills nationwide. I was glad there was a lot of explanation of technical terms in the breeding and showing industries.
Alaskan Malamutes, academic ethos and pathos, good read.
Although the topic of this book is hard to read (puppy mills and pet shops), I still found the writing to be enjoyable. The main character is entertaining and the fact that she is so 'dog driven' makes me look a bit more sane! I find Susan Conant's books to be informative, entertaining, and well written.
A good book for you animal lovers.
