The true story of a special dog told with warmth and humor. What's not to love?

Review Date: 10/12/2021

There is a lot of technical information especially early on, but this is a fascinating book. It was recommended to me, and I highly recommend it to others.

A timely but disturbing story excellently done.


Corduroy Mansions (Corduroy Mansions, Bk 1)
Review Date: 5/21/2016


I was expecting and hoping for another "No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, and it isn't. It is amusing, though.


The Cuckoo's Calling (Cormoran Strike, Bk 1)
Review Date: 8/3/2015
Helpful Score: 3


The Cuckoo's Calling kept me guessing up to the end. Galbraith created interesting characters who are more than one dimensional. At the risk of sounding like a complete prude, I do wish talented writers would realize they do not need to pepper every page with profanity, particularly the f-bomb. It isn't needed; it doesn't enhance the story; and no one would miss it if it weren't there.


Dying for Chocolate (Goldy Schulz, Bk 2)

This is the third Goldy book I've read. The other two were later ones in the series, and I haven't read the first. I think Davidson improves as the character grows, but I learned more of Goldy's background with this one. As with the other two, there are a couple of recipes I want to try out.

It isn't necessary to read them in order, but reading the earlier ones explains some references made in later ones.

Excellent book. I highly recommend it to everyone. D'Souza is in a position to give a view of the U.S. that native citizens can't really have.
