Reviews

[Cameron Trost]

An outstanding book written by an outstanding man. Read it! It's about a dog...and the world as a whole.

I like dogs well enough, but am admittedly not usually for stories in which they’re the sole voice; however this was just lovely.

Maybe it's because I'm not a dog, but I just don't find it interesting being in the mind of Buck. I was very excited to read this because so many people raved about it, but it just didn't hold my interest even as a child.
