The Friend

I enjoyed this book quite a lot. From beginning to end it kept me engaged in the story and that's because of the way it's presented. Through what seemed to be letters written by the protagonist is that we get to know the story. This makes it especially interesting because we not only get to read about the dog, but about the thoughts and vague ideas that go through the mind of our protagonist.

It's a good story about mourning and bereavement. It depicts the impact the loss of someone close has not only on us humans, but on dogs as well. Also, it walks us through the connection a person can create with a pet and the emotion and sentiment that goes into it.

I've always been a sucker for dogs, so the premise had me drooling over it, and I believe it delivered, but maybe not as greatly as I had expected.
Really good book that I would recommend to many people, just not life changing or anything like that.
