review 1: An absolutely adorable tale of a talking dog that tries to infuse some sense into his sad sack best friend! Stella is an adorable golden retriever that has a Garfieldesque air about her, a no nonsense, let's get real kind of sensibility. Paul is a down on his luck divorcee that relies on Stella for companionship after his divorce and listens to her advice. Very funny, sweet and a light easy read that I enjoyed.
review 2: I received an audio version of this book as part of the LibrayThing� s early reviewers program, and I am so glad I was chosen to receive a copy of this story. I loved the humorous and serious interactions between the protagonist Paul Gustavson and his wise dog Stella. The author did a great job of making Stella real and likeable, and I becam... moree quite attached to her. Her owner, Paul, was a bit frustrating at times while he was fighting his demons, but the business of demon fighting IS usually frustrating. I thought the ending was a little too clean considering what Paul was going though, but it did not ruin the book for me. I truly enjoyed this story, and would recommend reading it. Even though my copy of the audio version frequently skipped, I would also recommend the audio version if you can find one that doesn� t skip. I would not suggest this book for a family read as one of the issues dealt with is sexual in nature. This is a work of fiction, but you would probably like this book if you enjoyed Merle� s Door by Ted Karasote. less
