Book Reviews of The Plague Dogs: A Novel
Book Review: Fun Book
Summary: 5 Stars
It was kind of hard for me to start this book but found it gets better the more you read as the dogs progress in their journey across the countryside. In a way I almost liked it better than Adams's Watership Down as you really feel so sad for the dogs in how mankind has turned against them (I am sure dog owners will really understand this).
I have an edition that was printed in Great Britain so it was hard to understand some of the dialect without explanation (as Adams explains it a bit in the American printed version's preface). It wasn't until the middle of the book while looking at one of the map pictures that I found out "the tod" is a fox. Great book!
Book Review: AWESOME BOOK
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow! I love this book! I am thirteen and I picked this book to do for a book report at school. Yes, the beginning is a bit hard to read through, and he does write a lot of seemingly useless, long, boring paragraphs, but it is so worth it to get this book. The characters are great. Gotta love that Snitter.. The language used is a little hard to understand, but you'll get the basic idea if you try a little. oh, and don't listen to those review-ers who are saying that it is too boring to read. Most of them said they only read about 10 pages! Perservere!! (haha) I look forward to watching the movie, although I hear its pretty depressing. Ah well. READ THIS BOOK!Book Review: Oh Snitter & Rowf!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I cried several times while reading this book, and I didn't want it to end.
I guess it is pretty hard to get into, and sometimes it's a little tiresome, but I think it's well worth it. I loved this book. Makes me want to go out and adopt a cute little Snitter and make sure nothing bad ever happens to him.
Also, I was so thankful for the ending. I was dreading the end because I thought it would be terribly tragic,
P.S. poor tod.
Book Review: Great story!
Summary: 5 Stars
I speak English as second language and this book was quite a challenge. The British dialect was hard to understand.
I wish there was no author's speech (mumbling) included in the story. It took me a while to figure out who was talking.
This is a great story. Prepare a box of tissue because you will cry a river of tears.
Great book, highly recommend!
Book Review: I'd Like to Know Who DIDN'T Cry Reading This!
Summary: 5 Stars
One truly great book.
I believe that reading this in one's young adolescence will contribute to making a more humane person that would love children and beasts better than they would if they didn't read this.
