Book 19: The Dogs of Babel
I will be starting 'The Dogs of Babel' by Carolyn Parkhurst tonight or tomorrow. This was one of the books that my mom saved for me from my Grandma's house. I had never heard of it before, but my mom says it was really good. It's a story of a man whose wife dies under strange circumstances and the only witness at the time of her death was their dog. The man searches for clues into her death through the help of the dog. Sounds kind of cheesy but interesting at the same time.

I just finished this book and it exceeded all my expectations. The thought of a talking dog just really doesn't interest me. Although I didn't really care that much about Paul's "getting a dog to talk" research, I loved the rest of the book. The story of how Paul and Lexi met was very unique. I loved learning about the happiness, sadness, and tragedy that Lexi faced in her life. Their love life was a beautiful and dramatic story. Lorelei, the dog, also had a special part in the story. Overall this was a really good book even though the description just makes it sound crazy.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds really interesting! I might have to read it.
