I had heard raves about this book, and I think perhaps I just have different literary tastes from the people who are raving...
Yes, it's a powerful concept and interesting story. But there are a few quirks in the writing that proved a bit too much for me, namely the dog POV. That really took me out of the grittiness of the rest of the story.
