Since my son was little we both have shared a love of books, so a few days ago I got "It's A Ruff Life" for me and my son to read together as a nighttime story. It turned out to be a great choice for us as we both really enjoyed the mix of action and adventure à la James Bond with a unique canine twist. The novel features Max, the MI6 Canine Agent who's tasked with finding out what the Elusive Lord Alfred is up too, but finds himself hindered by the tenacious Bella, Lord Alfred's daughter (or doglet as the author so cutely coined it). The two end up taking a fast-paced journey that neither of them will forget as they each contribute their own unique gifts toward solving the case in a fashionable style.The story was funny, fast-paced, well thought-out and entertaining. It actually has a plot that appeals to both kids and adults (which isn't always easy to find) and, best of all, it keeps things light, fun and innocent for impressionable minds. Overall, it was a great novel that was well worth the read.
