What do I think of this book? The honest answer is I simply don't know. I know that seems odd but I can't really decide whether I liked it or not. As a huge animal lover I was mortified at the abuse in this book (not by the main character) and many times wanted to stop reading. However, I found myself drawn into the book and couldn't put it down. I stayed up until 5 in the morning just to finish because I HAD to know what happen next and how the story would end. This book takes you into the minds of disturbed people and fills your head with images of very cruel abuse towards the dogs. At the same time you can feel the main character's grief at the loss of his wife. The author does to a great job at bringing his pain to life.

Would I recommend this book to someone? The answer is again, I don't know. If you are interested in what I have said then read the book but be warned that it is NOT a happy story.
