My views on this book haven't really changed as I continue reading it, it isn't the most engaging book but is a cute story. I am often confused by the characters and who is narrating when because it goes back and forth with many different characters. I can't keep track of them which makes it harder to understand the story as well.

At this point in the book, I am most intrigued with the different perspectives from each animal and person. It't interesting to see how the author, Jane Smiley, interprets different things dogs, horses, crows, and humans do. It isn't necessarily the way I would have percieved some of these animals which adds to my interest in the book.

I'm happy to say the story is getting more interesting! Although not necessarily full of cliffhangers or exciting events, the storyline is sweet and calming. I think this is a good book to read if you just want to relax and not have to think about much.
