Blogcritics.org Review of YOU ARE A DOG

Hey look. I got my very first negative review. At Blogcritics, no less:

Blogcritics.org: Review: You Are a Dog Is: "This slim volume has moments that may bring a smile with some comment or observation a dog owner can imagine coming from or accurately describing their canine. Overall, though, the book tries too hard and uses far far far too many cutesy names for the humans in the dog's life. There is only so much the 'Man Who Stings Your Hip,' 'She Who Seldom Drops Cheese on the Floor,' 'He Who Leaves the Seat Up So You Might Drink,' 'He Who Does This' and 'She Who Does That' a person can tolerate before the device becomes inane. This is especially so when the vast majority of these names apply to members of the dog's human family. Every family member seems to have an unlimited number of such names and shifting identities."

You may be wondering why on earth I would be linking to such a thing. And I might be wondering the same, if I hadn't heard so many exact opposite opinions of the book from readers who don't pretend to review books. I honestly don't care nearly so much about being negatively reviewed as I do having folks read the book, so what this means is that at least one more person read the book. The reviewer did. Of course if you'd like to comment on the review, you can do so at blogcritics.com. That's the beauty of the blog format. Bless him. And bless you. Oh, and if you'd like to buy a copy you can do so (of course) at amazon.com / (in a new window).
