The History of the World in Fifty Dogs by Mackenzi Lee
3.0
3-3.5 ⭐
Oh boy. I am a dog person and it really hurts me to give this book only something between 3 and 3.5 stars, but it is what it is.
I really loved the stories, every single one was amazing and interesting and I learned lots of interesting things. And they were all good dogs. Very good dogs indeed.
But I hated the style. Mackenzi tried and failed to be funny. Her jokes were just... Cringe worthy. Mentioning Instagram in most of the chapters? Reminding us that white people are the worst (yes, we are, look at yourself Mackenzi, huh)? Mentioning her dog every chance she had? (I know you live your dog, I love mine as well, but I wasn't reading this book for your dog). Not my cup of tea.
Plus the book needed some better editing because there was lots of mistakes there.
Another thing I really loved was the illustrations. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
Quite disappointed, but still enjoyed it.
