I enjoyed the earlier books in this series. It has deteriorated over time. Bk 7 was poor and this one is just nonsensical. I gave up buying Patterson books at retail long ago. I think it is no longer worth wasting a credit to get them for "free"

I am having a hard time getting through this book even after 200+ pages. I am a big fan for the John Corey series but this lacks the wit and repartee.

I just loved this book and devoured it in 2 days. If is a combination of Clan of the Cave Bear and a dogs purpose.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Easy read with much food for thought about man's humanity and our relationship to the other species we share our world with.

This is utterly dreadful. I suggested it to my husband as he was out of books and bought it new a BN. He got 100 pages in and gave up as he had no clue what is was about or what was going on. I gave it a try and abandoned it at 70 pages.

I am halfway through and will not be finishing. There is no character development or advancement of a story line. Was looking forward to this as i really like historical fiction and horses. Big disappointment!

Definitely not a favorite. Maybe for me, too close to the truth as I personally know very many young adults whose lives are now destroyed because of student debt for worthless degrees from no tier schools. Not the subject of fiction.

I know this would be a serious book but was expecting an impactful relationship with a dog. I am 100+ pages and so far no dog has been introduced. It is well written but I am not a fan of reading about the tragedies of the wars we have become involved with. I am old enough to know full full that war is hell and the men and women who return are forever damaged (whether visible or not). Do not think I will finish.
Looking forward the return of Chet the Jet!

I really loved this book. Somehow the dog as narrator was very important in evaluating the human condition and its many deficiencies.

Think I am done with this series. I fondly remember laughing out loud at the earlier ones. This was stale and trite. Boring...
