A Dog's Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron
3.0
I was very much between a 2 and 3 star rating since I would say it falls in a 2.5 rating, but I since I ‘round up’, I gave it a 3 star rating. This was based on thinking this was a book for YA or Adults, but it fell into the category for 'children'.
It’s cute little story, I’ll give it that, but I thought it was quite uncomplicated - simple words, super easy-to-read, simple writing that many authors could do - and really didn’t inspire me at all about dogs. Yes, dogs can be loyal, but isn’t that already a known fact?
While many believe dogs have uncomplicated minds, I felt like it was saying that there isn’t much that goes into their thought process. Overall, it made me feel like there was much more to be desired.
I found it difficult to make it through the pages because it was SO simplistic. The idea that dogs don’t entirely understand what other dogs are saying didn’t make me feel like it was even accurate.
I tend to cry easily, so I was ready for my tears to come at any point, but it never happened. Being an animal lover, and having worked with rescues and done fostering, I found this really lacking for an adult audience and more appropriate for young children.
