We Think the World of You by J.R. Ackerley
3.0
What an odd little book this is - the rather melodramatic story of the infatuation between a man and a dog.
This feels more like an episode in a wider narrative of which the reader isn't told. We know nothing about the narrator and the nature of his relationship with Johnny, which is the cause of the events described in the book, is only very vaguely hinted at: we assume that they are lovers but it's not clear. In any case none of the characters involved, not even the dog, are likable.
It is a quick and easy read, though, so no harm done.
