Another one of those loveable novels that are a breeze to read but don't give you much food for thought. For full disclosure I should mention that I am not one of the dog-lovers who drools at the thought of learning more about a dog's life. However, the dog Enzo, does appear more human than anyone else in this book. He has the maturity, wisdom and occasional rage that you can identify with and the author has done a great job of giving the reader a view into what some rather dysfunctional human events would look like from a neutral point of view. While the concept of a narrative from a dog's point of view is cool, I quickly got tired of it and the owner of the dog, Danny, is portrayed as a very ideal and wronged human being. The author would have been better served if Danny had a few warts that could be exploited to make the book more interesting. After the "cool" concept wore off, I was eager to finish this book and move on. Thankfully that was not hard as the writing style was easy and line spacing was generous.
