EllenZReads You might need tissues. Like an entire box.

I read this while standing in the book section of the grocery store...stood there for about 45 minutes with tears streaming down my face. Then I went to the library and got the book so I could read the rest of it.

Corynne | 106 comments I agree. Phenomenal read! Very interesting point of view/narration style.

Andrea | 4 comments I just got started with this and I wasn't sure I would agree with characterizing a dog as a "wise" personality as I generally think of them in a more innocent, child-like way, but I am willing to be convinced by the author and am enjoying the book so far.

I read somewhere that Patrick Dempsey was in talks for the movie so that is who I'm picturing as Denny.

Margeri | 17 comments I've had this book for years but I've been too afraid to read it... I don't want to experience emotional trauma at the hands of a paperback!
Oh, I must try... /off to store to buy tissues; in bulk/

Corynne | 106 comments Read this one a flight home from Arizona (to Massachusetts). Amazing! I loved the perspective.


message 13: by Sara (new)

Sara (saradiann) | 35 comments I just finished this one today. Now I have to go wash the mascara off my face! I though I was going to make it through without tears until I got to the last few pages.

Sarah Koehler | 50 comments One of my all time fave books :-)

Krysta (booksaremyfavthing) | 115 comments I'm reading out of order and just started this book yesterday. I'm about a quarter of the way through it. I'm loving it so far. I wonder why I haven't read it sooner.

Joy | 40 comments I read this one for a book club in December 2014, so I just missed being able to count it


message 17: by Keri (new)

Keri I read this book about a year ago and absolutely loved it! I really hope they make a movie of it and Patrick Dempsey would be perfect!
