 A Dog Book Worth Fetching January 8, 2008
Cindy Adams has a hit here. She is very good at writing a memoir, while incorporating the story of her dog. Cindy is the writer of a gossip column for the New York Post. Hobnobbing with celebrities and their quirks is nothing compared to the quirky dog that has come into her life and stollen her heart.
Because of the dog, Cindy, dressed in her nightgown and Amilda Marcos, dressed to the nines, spent Christmas locked out of her apartment, sitting on the floor eating McDonald's hamburgers and fries.
Taking her dog to a dinner party ended in disaster, with Cindy drenched in wine and worried that the white carpet would be permanently ruined.
While on vaccation, Cindy had to sneak into the hotel room of a stanger, to excavate Jazzy from the suitcase of a Japanese tourist, before he hitched a ride back to Japan.
Cindy was on the phone speaking to a client, when Jazzy took a flying leap off her apartment balcony. Cindy threw down the phone, and caught him in mid air.
Jazzy and Cindy took a trip to the counry. She found that Jazzy was a New York dog, who was more accustomed to the sound of the garbage truck, then the sound of crickets with insomnia.
I found The Gift of Jazzy to be both heart warming and entertaining. I really enjoyed Cindy Adams sense of humor and finding out that many celebrities prefer their dogs over any other relationship.

 It Is What It Is.....A Very Good Book June 8, 2007

I found that this book was very entertaining and heart-warming. Cindy Adams wrote this story from her personal experiences. The funny antics of Jazzy, all the way to the celebrities mentioned, is her story. It is, what it is. If you like it, it's because it's a good re-telling of life going on after a loved-one passes, and how a little dog helped in the healing process. If you didn't like it, at least give Cindy Adams the respect and acknowledgement that she has the ambition to write a book, of which many people wouldn't even know where to begin with. At the very least, it doesn't deserve the nasty negative comments.

Great book for dog lovers. Cindy Adams tells the story of losing a loved one and how a very small dog came into her life and captured her heart forever.

Gift of Jazzy is really two books in one. The first one talks, with startling tenderness (which you wouldn't expect from Cindy Adams) about the cruelty of old age and sickness and the thoughtless stupidity of bystanders to it. After 40 years of marriage Adams's husband, Joey was physically breaking down and dying piece by piece it was incredibly sad. When her husband finally is gone the void was huge and friends decided to cheer her up by handing her a tiny Yorkie puppy-- Jazzy.
It shouldn't have worked out. Adams was depressed and cranky and brand new puppies need lots of attention but somehow it did and page by page the old Cindy Adams comes roaring back to life. I really enjoyed this book. The stories about Jazzy, life and work in New York and the foibles of celebrities are fun. If you love dog stories this one should be on your bookshelf.
