With this book and couldn't put it down. It was magical and fresh and asks a lot of important questions about who we are with each other and how to move on.

He is a jerk! Self consumed, rich, charming, jerk! She loves him despite his faults. Sandy dies in a freak accident and comes back to life through a mutt name Einstien. His only choice is to earn redemption through this mutt. Great story, many great quotes.

I received this from book movement for our club and before I even gave it to the members I read it. I loved it, it was different and very inspiring.

I thought Sandy started out as a selfish, self-centered, shallow, spoiled brat. Emily's love frightened him and challenged him to become a better person, but not until he had an intervention from On High. Our challenge is to see ourselves honestly and become the person we want to be without having to see ourselves "through the veil."

This was a fantastic book! I was hooked from the first page, finished it in two days! The book was funny, insightful, inspiring and tearful. I loved the characters, even Einstein, who not your typical likeable animal. I recommend this book to everyone!

Actually quite thought provoking - a total waste of a man is given the chance to redeem himself by "temporarily" being reincarnated as a dog and validate not only his selfish life but do something good for the vulnerable wife he was going to divorce the night he was killed.

If death can be humorous, Sandy was pretty funny as Einstein. Our book club conversation was all over the page - we decided he never had a chance at salvation because he was victim of his upbringing and never realized what a daft prick he really was.

Emily was completely redeemed from her self imposed doomed life by the unintentional misdeeds of her lost younger sister.....pretty interesting....families are truly a mystery - its about choices - and some people never realize all they have to do is turn around and go in another direction.

The front cover hooked me. I have a Jack Russel Terrier. Einstein's actions were dead on in many JRT characteristics. When he tore up the donut box on the table I could picture my dog doing it. It appalled Sandy at first that he let go but that is why becoming a dog made him finally become a little nicer human.
This book had good character development and they were believable. Even the dogs personality came through. Fun read.

Now we love them, and appreciate them, but really do we want to have to keep cleaning up after them FOREVER?
The book had its fun moments, sweet parts, but too many characters that didn't add much to the mix. I personally would have liked the writing to be tighter. Less wandering around. As an example bringing in 9/11 and New York's reaction to it seemed a stretch to the storyline.

Very cute book!

Sometimes we just need to smile and laugh. This story certainly did both for me. Relationships are often hard to define and a woman's perspective can be totally different than a man's perspective of the same relationship. This was a wonderful story of personal growth, learning independence, accepting disappointment, and discovering unconditional love - even if it's in the form of a pet. A delightful story with much more depth than meets the eye.

I loved the way Linda Francis Lee pulled the characters together. At the beginning, I was thinking that the book was too far fetched to enjoy. My advice: Keep reading.

An easy read that was entertaining.
