ewee (05/26): Good Dog. Stay. by Anna Quindlen

Got this one as a gifty from miz sy. Mostly ok. Quick read, moderately moving, worth a bathroom read. (Yeah, it's fluff, but hey, working on catching up!)

The Powells.com book listing sums up both sides fairly well:

Review:
"To say I read Good Dog. Stay. in an hour doesn't do this gem of a book justice. I inhaled the pages, nodding in agreement as columnist Anna Quindlen contemplated the lessons she learned from her Labrador, Beau." The Orlando Sentinel

Review:
"Anna Quindlen's Good Dog. Stay. is the worst [dog book] yet. Stretched to 83 pages, it almost doesn't count as a book. Instead, it comes across as exactly what it is: a hastily dashed-off, downright craven attempt to cash in on her beloved black Lab, Beau. Surely he deserves better. So do readers. (Grade: D)" Entertainment Weekly

Synopsis:
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Quindlen honors the life of her beloved black Labrador retriever, Beau, in this heartening and bittersweet work. With her trademark wisdom and humor, Quindlen reflects on how her life has unfolded in tandem with Beau's, and on the lessons she's learned by watching him.
