It's such a great (sad but great) story and I love the movie but the book wasn't as good as I thought it would be.

I usually read horror/thriller novels so this book was just a fill in to help me reach my good reads goal.

This book is fine. Short. Tells the main story and pretty much just sticks to that. Whatever I guess.

I know it's almost unheard of for an elementary teacher or librarian not to be ga-ga over this book, but it just wasn't my thing. The students love it, however.

This is a wonderful story about a boy and his dog. The family relationships were close and honest. I really enjoyed the depth of the story into social class differences and being kind even when people are mean. My kids really enjoyed this book and went on to listen to the whole series.
