I bought this book thinking it would be more on the lines of photos and short stories. Instead it is more like a novel. The book itself is a nice presentation as far as the cover photo and the printing adequate in size. The content I did not care for at all. I found the subject matter a little to weird. For example she uses descriptions like "having an intimate relationship with her dogs" and she needing to be more like a dog and her dog wanting to be more human. I found this a bit to much closeness for me. It was out there. I didn't even get 1/4 of the way through it and stopped reading. If I had actually seen this book in person I would not have purchased it for any price let alone for the steep price of $27.95.
