 Rescuing Sprite June 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I love Mark Levin even more now than I did before reading this book. I must admit that I cried through most of it, but I highly recommend it to all animal lovers.
 One of the worst books I've ever read! June 5, 2008

I actually like Mark's radio show since my political views are somewhat close. However, his book about Sprite's life and death was so sappy I just couldn't believe it.
I love and have trained many service dogs and truly appreciate their value in my home and business life; my Dobermans are in my office right now.
The book just droned on and on; I kept hoping Mark would just "cowboy up" and understand that death is a very important part of life and while I totally sympathize with the loss of a great dog, I kept saying to myself for Mark to "just deal with it."
And by the way his other great dog while temporarily being down about the death of his "friend" got over the loss much better than Mark. Mark must know that dogs live "for the moment" and have no conception of what's happened and what will happen.
All in all, the book was a waste of time; I'm glad I bought it used and cheap!
 Depressing book!! June 1, 2008

The guy spent half the book mourning the loss of the dog. Now, I love my dog and will be sad when she passes away, but I don't want to subject a reader to me crying over my dog. I'd rather spend the time remembering the dog's life.
It may not be what you expect but that isn't the author's problem May 30, 2008

I've read some of the negative reviews about this book and they are either negative because they are politically opposed to Mark or because the book isn't a literary masterpiece.
I listen to Mark's radio show and his book is sort of the anti-Mark. The book talks about Mark and his family's raw emotions about losing a family friend -- Sprite. Mark is a tough political commentator and his book shows him in a completely different light. He wrote it in a time of emotional distress and never intended it to "paint pictures" for people --- it was an emotional purge.
One of the reviews I read said that Mark was close to his parents yet never visits them...??.. The reviewer missed the part in the book where Mark says that he talks to his father EVERY night after his show ends.
If you've ever had to put down a dog, not had a dog die but YOU decide it's time for the dog to die, you'll agonize through this book just like Mark agonized through that time in his life. I know, I've done it.

I just had the misfortune to stumble upon Rob B's "review" of "The Great One" Mark Levin's book "Rescuing Sprite." Rob B. must not have read this great book, (he probably can't read at all) because politics is NOT MENTIONED ONCE in it.
I'm writing this as someone who has gone through the same anguish as Mr. Levin and who related to the same feelings he had. For Rob. B to write this hateful diatribe shows that he, like his Leftist buddies, not only doesn't have a heart, he doesn't have a brain.
