Heartwarming, insightful, and often laugh-out-loud funny, A Dog's Purpose is not only the emotional story of a dog's many lives, but also a dog's-eye commentary on human relationships and the Unbreakable bonds between man and man's best friend. This moving and beautifully crafted story teaches us that love never dies, that our true friends are always with us, and that every creature on earth is born with a purpose.

Review of "A Dog's Purpose" on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Manipulative. Woo-woo, wish-fulfillment fantasy. Omniscient first-person narrator, a gimmick that nearly led me to abandoning it early. And did I mention manipulative?

But dammit, it worked. Cameron has created an unlikely lens that focuses powerfully on human love, loneliness, happiness, uncertainty, and our talent for stumbling onto doing right. I never actually grew to love the narrative gimmick, but I did come to understand and accept it and even love the narrator.
