I didn't like reading about the dog fighting, but I tried to just go with it - considering how much Skeetah loved China and how much they needed that money. It is definitelly a heartbreaking story, so I can see how if you had been reading a lot of serious stuff, this one would have been hard to get through. Sounds like you need something light - I know I do (which is why I'm participating in the RIP challenge). <br /><br />heathertlc, hope you and your family are okay. Irene was a bad one. And yeah, seems like the perfect time to read this one. Thanks for having me on the tour and putting my review on FB. Such a great book - I really loved it!Nadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315207186180201488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892722103504759154.post-41706273370218029672011-09-07T11:14:22.751-04:002011-09-07T11:14:22.751-04:00Having just gone through the trailing edge of Hurr...Having just gone through the trailing edge of Hurricane Irene (I'm in Maryland), this certainly seems to be a timely book for me!<br /><br />It sounds like a very moving read and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

The pit bull fighting really got to me because I own a pit and he is very non aggressive and sweet, and although I wanted to feel connected to the dog in this story, I just couldn't. I also found the family situation to be very sad. But it was incredibly realistic and very, very well written, which I enjoyed. Perhaps part of the reason that I had such a hard time with this one may have had to do with the fact that I have been reading a lot of serious books as of late. It was a very worthwhile read, but it broke my heart.Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.com
