 Merles Door November 13, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
First let me say that many more enjoyed this book than are critical.
I found it to have a large amount of " fill" does it really need 200 annotations? do we really have to hear about Ted's sexual encounters and world travels? I began to feel that he was more interested in telling about himself than Merle. I kept thinking that we are looking at a 50 year old far left liberal into new age religion etc. IE An old Hippy.
There are many parts related to Merle's adventures that are interesting, but I do not really consider this book memorable. I purchase extra copies of memorable books to share with my friends. In do not plan to purchase any additional copies of this one, and likely will not even pass it on for others to read.
This did not compare to "The art of Racing in the Rain." Bernie Doran
Must Read for Dog Lovers November 13, 2008
This book is a must read for anyone who has loved a dog. It is a beautiful book. If you have read Marley and Me....you will really like this book as well. Highly recommend for all dog lovers.
A book for your book club. November 12, 2008
I picked this book for my book club here in Wyoming and it was a great choice. This book touched everyone and all admitted to using a lot of kleenex at the end! Don't miss this one. Patti
Loved this book November 9, 2008
The book, Merle's Door: Lessons from a Freethinking Dog, is a must for anyone who has ever had a close relationship with a dog, or loves the country. The book merges the love of the dog companionship with snippets of basic research on animal behavior, specifically canine. This method of weaving diciplines meets both the need for story as well as the knowledge craved by the learned person. It makes one want to go to Kelly to find the author and shake his hand.

life - for its own sake November 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is about a man and his dog living life to the fullest together. The bond between them is very powerful. Merle lived the way he wanted to live, and he was free to die in his own time and his own way. There is something very transcendent about this book. It's more than a dog story. I think it's really about permission to live life fully, something very few people do or even recognize as possible. That's the message that Merle brought.
