Listened to the audio book, I enjoyed the story, the characters, they were well rounded: annoying, difficult, true to themselves

Very much enjoyed this.
I certainly did laugh out loud at times. It’s funny and sad, uplifting and shocking. Elizabeth and Calvin. Mad and Harriet. Walter Pine and Reverend Wakely. Dr Mason. Six-Thirty.
Great characters all well drawn.
Scenes very visible in my mind.

Ich hätte nie gemacht, dass ich mal aus der Sicht eines Hundes lesen würde und es mir auch nicht gefallen würde. 
Ansonstens aber alles total perfekt, gute Mischung aus Emotionalität und Witz.
