A review by catdad77a45
The Book of Dog by Lark Benobi

4.0

Even as an avowed cat lover (which species gets a bit of short shrift towards the end of the book!), I couldn't help but be charmed by this sui generis parable. Others have invoked Orwell, Kafka, and Thurber (for the droll drawings) in attempting to find authors with similar themes/styles, all of which are certainly germane - I'd add in Tom Robbins and Jeff VanderMeer - but Ms. Benobi is in a class by herself and believe me, you've never read ANYTHING close to this. In these perilous times, it is heartening to read a book that wholeheartedly opts for goodness overcoming evil.

My sincere thanks to Netgalley, Vegetablian Books, and the author (a very recent GR friend!) for their generosity in providing an ARC in return for this honest review.
