Hi Cathy! I wrote three humor books, which means they were mostly books. There's more plot in the second two, but I get it. I hope you'll enjoy The Midnight Plan of the Repo Man. And thank you so much for your lovely words!
I didn't realize that looking up a reader's comments could be difficult when there are 1000s of them so I'll copy my review here: Read in August, 2011
format Hardcover (edit)
review On page 7 the author acknowledges some of the writings he used for the research of this book. "Dogwatching" by Desmond Morris, "What Dogs Have Taught Me" by Merrill Markoe "The Hidden Life of Dogs" by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas "Search and Rescue Dogs" by the American Rescue Dog Association. The works of Cesar Milan, James Herriot, Dr. Marty Becker and Gina Spadafori.
Hmmm, not a good feeling about this one. But I quickly forgot that he may not be a "dog person" Perhaps he did research just to verify his own opinions. W. Bruce Cameron seems to KNOW dogs.
I read this book in 24 hours, more than a few chapters through tears. It wasn't always about treats and frisbees. It was about the realities of a dog's life. Other than it being written from a dog's point of view (which worked in this case) it was realistic to me. All the things that happened to this dog could happen in real life.
I recommend W. Bruce Cameron's "A Dog's Purpose - A Novel for Humans" to my reader friends, dog people or not.
I just finished 'repo man' and enjoyed it. A bit of humor and a bit of tension near the end. I read the first half in one sitting, but life didn't allow me to finish it until a couple days later. My mind continued to nag me about finishing the book, much like Alan did to Ruddy.
Hi Cathy: I have another book you are NOT going to be interested in that will be out in November called A Dad's Purpose. Just want to warn you! It is along the line of 8 Simple Rules. However, the sequel to The Midnight Plan of the Repo Man is out in August; maybe you'd like that one. I really appreciate your review of A Dog's Purpose. -- Bruce
lol, thanks for the warning ;) But I'll probably read it! I just can't leave a book unread by an author I like. Just one of those things I can't explain. I am looking forward to the repo man sequel tho!
