The Barking Dog

This book really surprised me. I hadn't read anything of substance for quite a while, so when I picked it out I expected to enjoy it. I didn't expect I would enjoy it so much, though. I couldn't put it down for days. I loved her humorous outlook and the point of view from which she observed life after knowing (relatively) how much time she had left. I could feel her love for those around her, and I literally laughed out loud and sobbed in the same chapter. I finished the book feeling as if I had really learned something, and can sympathize with her feelings on a day to day basis. This book will change your life.

LOVED IT!

This book tops my all-time-favourites list. It's "darkly funny" content had me laughing on one page and tearing up on the next. I enjoyed her style of writing, where you can "hear" her speaking as you read - it flows wonderfully and reads just as a person would speak. I had never heard of this author before until I read this book. Now I will be looking up more of her books!
