I absolutely love this book, from the minute that I realized the dog was smarter than average...

Once again, Dean Koontz amazes me with his wit and his promising outlook on life.

Don't watch movie! The book is sooo much better.

This is one of Koontz's greatest novels. I can't even count how many times I've reread this book over again. It makes you wish so hard you had a dog like Einstein that you'd read the book again just to make the dog come alive for the duration of the story! My favorite part is when the dog starts to reveal his intelligence to Travis, the main (human) character, and Travis struggles to believe what he's seeing rather than attributing it to wishful thinking. It's a wonderful story!

I was given this book by a friend who highly recommended it. I had never read anything by Koontz before and really didn't see myself liking anything he'd write, but I was a dead wrong.

The Einstein dog character's relationship with Travis is humorous and endearing at the same time. Koontz does a great job of making the Einstein character come out of the page, as if he were real.

I highly recommend this book. I think you'll enjoy it regardless of what genre of books you typically enjoy.

One of Koontz's best. This book kept my interest and I read it very quickly. Dog lovers will especially love the beautiful golden retriever with special abilities who is featured in the novel. It is a story of love, of companionship, of fear and of the unthinkable coming from an uncercover governmental experiment in a secret lab...

This was the very first Dean Koontz book I ever read. I was hooked from the start, great story line, he writes with such lighthearted yet, facsinating style.His love for dogs makes his story even more interesting because he actually captures the mind of the animals.Any true Koontz fan will not be dissappointed with this book.
