 A "rea" dog story April 28, 2008
This is a 45 minute short story about Anna's dog, Beau. I am not a fan of animal stories as they usually either end up getting hurt or dying. The same is true in this one. It is the life story of Beau and as all life stories, the end is death. That brings tears to me which is why I don't like these types of stories.
I believe Anna wrote this as a way to heal from her lost of Beau more than trying to tell a readable story. This is not to say the story doesn't make sense. It does. I just hear in Anna's own words how much she and her family cared for Beau and how much his loss meant to them.
As with all stories, there are the good times and the "bad dog" times, laughs and tears and general day-to-day life. If you want to hear about a good dog's life, this CD will provide that.
 Much less than I'd expect of Anna Quindlen April 20, 2008
I bought this book for my husband as part of the grieving process after our 14-year-old black lab died. I expected Anna Quindlen's usual wisdom and frankly I was disappointed. The text was very short; not enough in quantity or quality to justify a book in my opinion. Worse, every page featured those awful cutesy stockhouse dog photos that seem the antithesis of the honest and straight style I expected based on reading her wise columns in the NY Times for many years. The book came across as a celebrity milking something very thin for some extra cash. Come on, Anna, you can do a lot better than this!
Sweet April 16, 2008
I think she is such a wonderful author and love her books. This was yet another treasure.
Book review April 5, 2008
Loved this book - sounded just like what we went through with our yellow lab. Quick read - heartwarming.
Touches the heart March 27, 2008
The daycare I take my lab to recommended this book in a newsletter. This is a book that all dog lovers/owners should read. It's a great book to pick up for a quick coffee break read. I'd recommend it as a great gift for the dog lovers in your life.
