  "Clever and Imaginative" by tom_lana (see profile) 12/16/15

I have only just started reading and need to share with all this especially well written book. I cannot put it down, I really feel that I am on a journey through India. Looking forward to the next twist and turn.... back to the book now. Enjoy!!!

 
  "rollicking entertainment with a serious message underneath" by loujohnson (see profile) 12/16/15

Fabulously entertaining and at the same time, multilayered and multidimensional. Populated by a cast of characters, animal and human that showcase Indian life in all its guises

 
  "Dogs of India" by Abbonema (see profile) 12/19/15

Think Animal Farm,Slumdog Millionaire and fast forward to this wickedly witty,perceptive forensic
theatrical unfolding of the myriad layers of India.
A book which made me giggle and grieve at the
same magical moment.

 
  "No Focus" by LSakay (see profile) 04/29/16

This author starts off with an interesting, although somewhat odd approach, and just seems to them in a hodgepodge of events and situations that just leaving the reader saying, "what?" Dogs of India had the potential to solidly address one or two primary social issues evident in India. Unfortunately McGee just pounced on every single opportunity to throw in an additional concern and it succeeded in muddling it all. I thinks fellow club member documented 15 social issues targeted in this short book.....from transgender to animal cruelty to misogyny....wow! It was just too much. Despite all of these twist, turns and fails I do feel, however, Dogs of India would make for a great book discussion. We enjoyed ourselves; who knew rabies leads to prolonged erections. Lol

 
  "Lots of dogs, monkeys and issues" by castellj (see profile) 05/04/16

What I liked most about this book was that it was different. The style in which it is written makes it fast to read, keeps your interest, and it was cute to live in animals' brains for some chapters. It also had a good humor about it. What I'm not sure I liked was that it seems to touch on just about every socio/political issue out there. How can you cover animal cruelty, immigration, gay rights, rape, suicide, political corruption, poverty, religion, etc. etc. etc. in 181 pages? When you think this book is about one thing/message BAM! you get slammed with another plight. I still liked it though.
