Review of 'Dogsbody' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Diana Wynne Jones's fables are always a joy to read. This one is no exception. As so often, it surprises while it delights. As so often the road out leads to and through sagacity rather than bells and roses.

Here a supremely powerful being is trapped in the foggy mind of a dog, struggles his way out of the river of forgetfulness to recover his power, learn some lessons about how to wield it, and to meet and lose the love of his life. The book is funny, unpredictable in its twists, and wonderfully well-written. Read it. Let your children read it.
