Review: Four barks good
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 03 20, 2014
Once I got into this book I couldn't put it down, the start is a little hard to grasp but once you get I to the swing of how it is written you are drawn into the compelling story that deals with something that a lot of people believe no longer exists, racism, but in a novel way that really makes you stop and think.I must admit my favourite character is Sparky, yes that's the dog, I like the human characters too but there is just something about Sparky that really drew me, he doesn't say much except his barks, one for yes, two for no, but the way that he is written had me wishing for my very own Sparky.Todd is a warrior, that's what he was trained for and who he is even if he no longer lives in that world it still defines him, Marsha grounds him so although you don't get to see much of her you still feel like you know her through Scott's eyes.What can I say about the villains except they are bad, but dressed up in good for so long that some people no longer see the evil, but evil is evil and will come out.The dogs themselves make up an important part of the story and I would love to have found out more about why they acted the way they did. It is because of this and the somewhat hard to grasp start that it's a four star, but this is most definitely a book that should be read.I received a free copy for an honest review
