Customer Reviews
Amazing!
Tmorck, what’s you’re problem? After I watched the movie I ran downstairs in tears and hugged my dog. It’s a sweet book filled with emotion and drama. If you different taste then I won’t judge you, but it’s a great book. That dog owners I think would love. And cry about :).
Best book
I origanally had to read this for a school IRA but it was one of the best stories i have ever reed
Disappointed
I may be old fashioned, but I like a book with character development and a plot. This was just a compilation of some mildly amusing recollections about a boy and his dog. No real surprise when he grows up, moves away, and the dog dies. Save your money and read Old Yeller or Where The Red Fern Grows.
