I love Chet the Jet! He's got ADD as do my grandsons :-)

I'm glad you enjoyed at least parts of it. I really like the humor of the story being told from Chet's POV and I'm an animal person so I love Chet :-). I need to continue on with this series.
I love Chet the Jet! ... Wait ... did someone say Bacon? Is that a snake I smell? Bear claws? ... Okay, where was I ... oh, yeah .. I love Chet the Jet!

★★★.5
Chet and Bernie head to Washington, DC because Bernie is interested in seeing his girlfriend, Suzie Sanchez. Chet doesn’t mind, he likes Suzie and besides, she keeps snacks for him in her car. However, Chet soon finds out that all is not well when they get there. One of Suzie’s sources is murdered and this strange bird with no eyes that no one else notices keeps coming by. When he’s not distracted by thought of food, the scents of members of the nation within a nation (aka dogs) and other doggie things, Chet is tuned into what the humans around him are saying and doing, even if he doesn’t always quite understand what they mean.
I read this because my teen son chose it for me for a holiday gift. To be honest, I expected absolutely nothing from this book, since it’s not something I would normally pick up. However, it did give me some laughs. The story is nothing brilliant, but Quinn does a nice job of writing from the POV of a dog, and if not totally believable, it was doggie enough to be quite fun. I may add this series to my roster of light, funny books to read when I want to give my brain a rest.
