For some reason this one never appealed to me as much as the usual JH horror stuff, like 'The Rats', 'The Dark' etc. However I was pleasantly surprised. Not your standard horror book but certainly delves into life and death, a topic which fascinates most of us. The story is told in the first person (or should that be the first dog?) and the author conveys 'being a dog' brilliantly. We learn how 'Fluke' as he is eventually known feels different from other dogs and we follow his journey as he seeks to find out the truth. Wonderfully written and beautifully described...with just the right amount of poignant moments...especially the end.   hide
