Rating: 5 out of 5 stars Genre: Fiction Age Recommended: 15 and up Definitely one of the better “science” fiction books I’ve read, simply because the science in this book seems viable and not too far fetched.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars Genre: Historical fiction Age Recommended: 14 and up The reason for the low rating of this book was that the book constantly switched between three stories and it was necessary to pay close attention to detail in order to not be at a loss. The book itself, however, was well written and I enjoyed it. I’ve previously read and reviewed two other books by the same author, both of which I enjoyed very much: A Dog’s Purpose and A Dog’s Journey. I highly recommend them, if you haven’t read them yet. ——————————————– The story begins … Continue reading Book Review: The Dog Master by W. Bruce Cameron
