Dog's Purpose (Cameron) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
This is an exquisite, magical, fantastic book. I devoured it in a, "I-resent-anything-that-prevents-me-from-getting-back-to-the-book-why-do-I-have-to-work-my-kid-is-almost-six-can't-he-drive-himself-to-school?" way. I adored Bailey, the dog narrator, and though I got teary, I absolutely loved this book. You should quickly fetch "A Dog's Purpose," an exemplar of the literary canine canon.
Duncan Strauss -  NPR, Talking Animals


A tail-wagging three hanky boo-hooe...fiction debut.... Cameron also successfully captures the essence of a dog's amazing capacity to love and protect. And happily, unlike Marley, this dog stays around for the long haul.
Publishers Weekly


Through his many lives, Bailey searches for his purpose, his reason for living and living again. Bailey's courage and determination are tested as he travels towards his goal. Verdict: By turns funny, heartwarming, and touching without being overly sentimental.
Library Journal


Through all [his] lives, Bailey contemplates his purpose in a voice full of curiosity and humor. He ruminates on the usefulness of cats (“none”) and the strange natures of humans (“Am I a good dog or a bad dog? They can’t decide”). This quickly paced, touching novel will charm all animal fans. —Kaite Mediatore Stover
Booklist


[T]he spiritual journey of a dog through four incarnations.... Toby-who understands human language as soon as he hears it-is immediately drawn to the human kindness.... Marley and Me combined with Tuesdays with Morrie.
