I absolutely love this book, from the minute that I realized the dog was smarter than average...
Once again, Dean Koontz amazes me with his wit and his promising outlook on life.
Don't watch movie! The book is sooo much better.

This is one of Koontz's greatest novels. I can't even count how many times I've reread this book over again. It makes you wish so hard you had a dog like Einstein that you'd read the book again just to make the dog come alive for the duration of the story! My favorite part is when the dog starts to reveal his intelligence to Travis, the main (human) character, and Travis struggles to believe what he's seeing rather than attributing it to wishful thinking. It's a wonderful story!

One of my all time favorite Koontz books!
I absolutely love this book and have read it many times. This is not the typical Dean Koontz book, but is a loving and unusual story about a dog with extraordinary abilities and the bad guys trying to catch him to use him for evil. It was made into a movie, bjut I think the book is much better than the movie.

I was given this book by a friend who highly recommended it. I had never read anything by Koontz before and really didn't see myself liking anything he'd write, but I was a dead wrong.
The Einstein dog character's relationship with Travis is humorous and endearing at the same time. Koontz does a great job of making the Einstein character come out of the page, as if he were real.
I highly recommend this book. I think you'll enjoy it regardless of what genre of books you typically enjoy.
