Different kind of story right there. I enjoy his writing, but it seems like I don't know the meaning of every third word. I used context clues, but there's a lot to learn.

Wow I really liked that. I was expecting a grueling death. Instead I was delighted with the ending of hope and everlasting presence.

I have been surprised at the unforgiving conditions the protagonist, Buck, has lived through. It is interesting to see the perceived feelings of a dog through a man's lenses. This is a book where I cannot just read it in one sitting as the material is so heavy. I find myself reaching for it when I have the mental capacity to take on uncomfortable things. I have been debriefing after each chapter. Will keep reading.
