A review by jmclincoln
A Dog's Perfect Christmas by W. Bruce Cameron

4.0

You know what to expect with a Cameron dog book: good story told in a straightforward way with no padding. Cameron adheres to Elmore Leonard’s “10 rules if writing”, especially the “don’t write the words your reader won’t read”. I like to read a bit before going to sleep at night, and most books are very good at lulling me to sleep. I expected the same from “A Dog’s Perfect Christmas”. I was about a third into it last night when it just took over. Sleepy? Not a chance. Finished it.

I especially loved how the 13-year-old Ello thought in Capitalized Words. Perfect!

If you haven’t read “The Repo Man” yet, it’s time to get on with it.
