This book had me hooked. It's a page turner. Then it completely falls apart at the end.

The good: The dogs are very interesting. Their training and breeding methods are fascinating. I liked reading the history of the dogs. Edgar's "soul," Almodine, is my favorite character in the book. The dogs are human like.

The bad: The ending didn't tie up many loose ends, and fell flat. It really ruined the entire book for me. The ending made the entire middle of the book seem pointless. You never find out exactly why Gar and Claude hate eachother or even if they actually did hate eachother. The motive was scarce - and I won't say anymore because I don't want to give it away ;)
