Book Review of Dog On It (Chet and Bernie, Bk 1)

Dog On It (Chet and Bernie, Bk 1)

Something of a disappointment. If you're looking for a great book with a canine narrator, try "The Art of Racing in the Rain," a book I adored. This book was just fairly uninteresting. It was a somewhat formulaic mystery with uninteresting villains and while Chet is cute, he doesn't have much depth (which I can forgive, as he is just a dog!) and often wanders off in the middle of the story which, to say the least, is frustrating, even if intended. I expected much more and had to almost force myself to finish it. Not a bad book, but not quite a good one either. That being said, reading other reviews I seem to be the odd opinion out, so take that as you will.
