Book Review of Walking in Circles Before Lying Down

Walking in Circles Before Lying Down

Helpful Score: 1


This novel was something I just picked up in absence of something else to read, but turned out to be one of the most touching, humorous books that I've read in a long time. This tale observes the unique relationship between a woman and her dog, and a loving animal companion's ability to see their human friend through any trial. As the narrartor tells her story, weaving through tales of frienships, intimate relationships, and familial ones as well, her faithful friend is always by her side to offer love, as well as some interesting advice. Oh, did I mention she finds, after a great personal crisis, that she can suddenly read her dog's mind? Her journey into the world of the canine psyche offers some incredible insights into the thoughts of our furry friends as well as some laugh-out-loud, true doggy humor!
