by Dean Koontz
Hennepin County Library hardcover 271 pages
genre: non-fiction, pet memoir
Koontz' writing style draws me in. I love his love of language, and while I'm not a fan of golden retrievers, I understand perfectly how one can adore the pet "child" of the household. I'm tempted to buy a copy (or two) of this book . . . for myself to re-read, to give as a gift when others' pets die, . . . and just because I love his way with language. Some of this felt over-the-top (Trixie as otherworldly, almost holy) but he put his prose into context. And it's personal. He tells about the transformation Trixie caused in his own life and in his wife's life. Beautiful book!
