I love Lassie; her determination, her loyalty, her spirit, etc. I even found her journey to get back home after she was sold and carted off hundreds of miles to be very impressive. I read this book to help my nephew pass his comprehension test in reading and I enjoyed doing it with him and discussing the book. However, for me this isn’t a book I would want to reread and wouldn’t have read if not to help with the assignment. The scenes I enjoyed the most were the ones with Lassie and his boy, Joe, or the ones with only Lassie. All the others contained dialogue between the humans that was extremely hard to follow with the accents and dialects of the time. Overall, I appreciated the book for what it was, but it’s not something I would personally recommend.
