A review by gloshmo
Following Atticus: Forty-Eight High Peaks, One Little Dog, and an Extraordinary Friendship by Tom Ryan
3.0
Actual rating - 3.5 stars.
There was potential for this to be a 5-star read. I love animal friendship stories, particularly those featuring dogs. Unfortunately, the writing style brought the rating down for me.
The author's use of overly descriptive language was overdone, particularly in the first half of the book. There were portions of the story that didn't seem pertinent to the overall novel, and the author frequently added details that didn't seem necessary. All of this resulted in a story that did not flow smoothly.
I will likely read the author's other book. I'm hoping that with experience, his writing style has improved.
