Book Reviews of The Dog Who Spoke with Gods

Book Review: The Dog Who Spoke With Gods
Summary: 5 Stars

Reading this incredible book has been one of the most powerful, profound and intense experiences in my life. I was initially drawn to the interesting title and especially to the hauntingly beautiful rendetion of Damien (one of the main characters, a soulful dog) on the front cover. The synopsis on the back convinced me I would enjoy it, as I am a dog-lover and owner and feel very deeply that animals should be treated with our utmost respect. Little did I know that I literally would not be able to put this book down from the moment I picked it up; for 2-1/2 days, I read it while stirring the pot for dinner, in the bathtub and in between doing all the obligations in my life. If you love dogs and/or have the belief that you should do something "because it is the right thing to do," you will relate wholeheartedly to this book. It also takes the reader through that part of a young woman's life when she is struggling to make the inevitable "jump" from letting her family define her to implementing her own independent, willful adulthood. She begins as a child, living in the shadow of the powerful people in her family, and emerges as a fully-sentient woman, now capable of deciding for herself right from wrong, and willing to back up her thoughts and decisions with persistent action. This book will shake up your world, but in an honest, true way, and challenge you to recognize the sense of purpose in your own life. I just finished the book this morning, and already intensely miss the characters I got to know so well, rooted for and fell in love with.

Summary of The Dog Who Spoke with Gods

When Elizabeth, a young pre-med. student happens upon Damien, a dog being used in laboratory research on her campus, she has no way of knowing how drastically her life- and her beliefs- will be changed. Without meaning to, she slowly becomes drawn into the dog's fate and is soon torn between the lo9ve and respect she has come to feel for Damien and the sense of loyalty and obligation she feels for the medical profession as well as her father and grandfather, both cardiac surgeons.

With an uncanny ability to write convincingly about life from the point of view of a canine, Diane Jessup tells an extraordinary story of friendship and loyalty. Few writers have ever shown the world of man's closest friend as clearly and movingly. For anyone who has ever loved a dog this is a must read.
