Review of 'Dogsbody' on 'Goodreads'

so it seems the celestial bodies can talk and hold court and do magic? oh well, Freddie DeBoer gave a recommend so I had to see it through. I'm not a huge fan of science fiction, and I haven't wanted a puppy since I was a child, and the vague 'green' feeling that was forever in the background was too-clever for me, but the story of seeing life enfold as a dog still captured my interest. And yes, I was crying by the end.

and Neil Gaiman doing the introduction (which of course I read as an addendum) reminded me that I did enjoy his science fiction, and maybe I did have room for the unconditional love of a pet. there's still plenty of life left.
