I was almost afraid to read this book because everyone was talking about the disappointing ending. I had heard it was sad....Well, the book is sad but I found the ending uplifting. It is really the only ending that I would have totally accepted. Unlike some other reviewers, I was never bored and appreciated the detail. In fact, the detail became very important as the story progressed. Great writing, amazing characters--including the dogs. This book reminds me that life is not always fair but it does move steadily forward.
