 One of my favorite books of all time (although I have a few). Thought provoking, sweet, emotional and quite frightening at times, this really is a special book.

 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.

Wonderfully written and beautifully described...with just the right amount of poignant moments...especially the end.

 Brilliant....but is it the story of a man who thinks he's a dog...or a dog who thinks he's a man? Read it to find out...

 The most amazing novel, I had too much feelings for the poor dog who had been once a human. and how he struggles to meet his own family and to show them that he was the one not just a dog.It made me appreciate my existence in this world as a human!

 A more light-hearted affair from Herbert. Decent enough, and much better than the movie they made of it, but not up to snuff with his more serious works of horror.
