A Review of Woof By Spencer Quinn

Woof by Spencer Quinn
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

Well, I am in the minority but I did not like this book. First of all I found the narration confusing. I know it is the point of view of the dog, and it reads like a dog wrote it. Can you say, SQUIRREL? So instead of the one day it has taken me to read the other Bluebonnet nominees this takes me a week. I kept putting it down. I had to make myself read it, and what kind of Children's book do I want to make myself have to read.

A quotation throughout this book that comes from Birdie's father is "No loose ends" and yet that is all that there was. It was like the author said, Oh crud my editor said it can't be more than 300 pages, better finish this fast. From the Climax of the story to the last page was less than five pages. I have to say I am actually angry right now that I wasted a week of my life reading this book. Who cares if the characters are well-developed, the story isn't.
