Dogsbody by Diana Wynne Jones
3.0
REQUIRED READING
Sirius is a luminary exiled to earth for a crime he didn't commit, in a dog's body. Jone's novel is a struggle between the life and thoughts of a dog, and a star's desperate attempt to prove his innocence, and return back to where he belongs. Though the story idea was very interesting it was hard to keep up with the balance between the two different aspects. Sirius' search of the Zoi and his part in his life before Earth was confusing to follow. His part as a dog was more loveable and enjoyable, but because he was so distracted by this personality and the mindset of a dog, the search for the zoi took longer than necessary and the story dragged on.
