A review by frostling
Sirius by Olaf Stapledon
3.0
Interesting novel about a super-intelligent dog and his conflicting Wolf-Human nature. Unfortunately for him, he is the only one of his kind, and he soon gets confronted to bad people, who drive him, literally crazy.
I enjoyed the first 100 pages, and then found it rather repetitive as the relationship with Paxy, (his Human friend), gets told over and over again. She wants to be with her friends, and she is cold to him, which drives him to develop his Wolf instincts.
Due to this conflict in him, he was never going to adapt and be a ‘good dog’, who can write, read and create music. No, eating raw flesh from sheep and even Humans is too seriously attractive to Sirius, who is, then, pretty much a serial killer...
