A Dog's Way Home by W. Bruce Cameron
3.0
[3.5 Stars]
I hate when a blurb practically ruins a book which is what almost happened with this one. Don't read it the blurb! It covers way too much of this book, so the first 150ish pages are slow and boring because you're still waiting to get to a part you don't already know about. I know authors don't write their own blurbs, but man, this one almost had me DNFing (quitting) the book at 100 pages.
Once I got past the 150 page mark, the book really picked up, and I found myself enjoying Bella's journey. She has so many different experiences which kept me engaged, and I liked that she would think about those different places and companions from time to time.
If you don't want to read about humans that are terrible and treat animals poorly, then this might not be the book for you. Granted, there are loads of good humans in the book as well, but there were some characters that are supposed to and did make me so mad.
So because I wasn't enjoying this for almost half of the novel, my rating was lowered, but I did end up enjoying the second half a lot. If you avoid the blurb, you may like this even more than I did!
