I feel that A Dog’s Purpose by Cameron W. Bruce was an enjoyable book overall. While many parts were sad or depressing, it kept me reading. I had to read this book as an independent reading assignment for my english class so I’m really glad I chose it. In this story, a boy convinces his parents to let him keep a puppy, Buddy, which they take some time to think about. I can say that there were some pretty interesting parts that made me want to keep reading even more. For example, my favourite part has to be when Buddy is a german shepherd, Ellie, and she is a very good police dog. Also, if you’re someone that doesn’t necessarily like stories pretty much going all over the place, plot wise, I wouldn’t recommend this for you. While it isn’t that difficult to read, it can be slightly confusing at times. In my opinion A Dog’s Purpose was written to show us that you cannot determine your path by what happens right now, it’s what you do that counts. You can find your purpose as time progresses and you will have people in your life that support you in every way. Lastly, I would rate this a 4.5/5 stars.

i actually bought this book from indigo. it is really amazing. this story wil touch your soul.

This is one of the best books I have EVER read!! Amazing read from the first page to the last. At some points you laugh out loud and some points makes you cry. At any age you can enjoy this book, but you would have to be about 12 to understand fully everything that it's talking about, but really good for any age. I couldn't put this book down! I love this book and I am sure that you will too. Read this book!!!

No five stars for the greatest fiction book ever written but I enjoyed the book the entire time. I laughed, I cried, I thought a lot about my precious dog. If you've ever known a "good dog" this book is for you!

An emotional story of one dog, Bailey, and his unyielding everlasting connection to his boy, Ethan, and what it means to 'be a good dog'; Sweet, Touching and Endearing throughout.

The movie of the same name was based upon this book. Although the movie strays a bit from the source material anyone who has seen the film will love this book and will not be able to put it down without tears in the their eyes.

This is one of those books that really brings out your emotions. Joy, hope, anger, sadness. Mr. Cameron is masterful in his prose, and knows just how to tug on your strings without making the story horrible or saccharine. Well done.
