The Dogs of Babel is a very touching book about coping with the death of a loved one, as well as a mystery about how that death happened. Reading the description, I expected this to be more of a story about the bond between people and dogs, or the relationship between Paul and his dog, Lorelei, but that turned out to be more of a side plot.

Although the book was an intense and quick read, I had hoped for a positive, maybe even magical, ending and was disappointed when the mystery was resolved.

Overall, this is a bittersweet story about love and loss. If you read it expecting a happy or wonderous resolution, you will be disappointed.
