jaday said: The story of the many lives of Dog is artfully rendered. The author places the reader in each life the dog lives. My low ranking review is not on the writers style or execution, but more on the concept and choice of delivery. If the author had come out annd revealed the book was an exploration of reincarnation I might have felt differently. I am a Christian and not a fan of the subject of reincarnation. If this had been an explanation of what reincarnation is, I would have been open to that. I'm usually very open minded and enjoy purely fiction books. Fantasy fiction is one of my favorite genres. My prejudice of the subject has affected my objectivity when I reviewed the book. As a quadriplegic I am unable to hold a book. I have only been able to listen to the book on a sound recording. I was unable to see the illustration.
