This is such a great story about how military members fight to bring their animal companions him with them from war zones.

Grisham is a great writer and delivers an interesting plot. However, the end is rushed and there are some legal holes you could drive a truck through. Plus one of the story lines just sort of dies.

This book got so much press in the running community about how inspiring it was that I bought it, ready to love it. However, it is self-indulgent and whiny. I don't find self-centered and lazy people inspiring and couldn't stand listening to the justifications for the author's petty whining.

I can't tell you how much I hated this book. I am an academic and my specialization is the Holocaust, so i wanted to like the book based on the reviews and on a synopsis of the plot. But the writing style is so disjointed and convoluted that I couldn't get through more than a couple of pages. It reads like a catalog rather than a book and skips from idea to idea.
