It's a short book, but rather exciting. I was really intrigued and anxious about the things that happened in it.
Basically, two young women first find each other, and then they find this mysterious Chinese puzzle box they can't open. It turns out that there are a lot of other people after the box. Whom can they trust? Will they survive, get hurt? Will the dog survive?

I was bothered by how badly trained the dog was. Basically doing anything it wanted most of the time, and not especially obedient. Also, the idea of it being an English Sheepdog didn't fit the image I got while reading. I thought of it more like a border collie or some sort of a terrier. But - what evs.

Also, the ending was happy. :-D

Absolutely delightful little read. (Very short, though, as you can see.)

Also, someone said it's racist. I can see why. So if you are bothered by such, be warned.
