"Again, Cameron delivers an adorable book that will be appreciated by all dog lovers. The sequel to A Dog's Purpose ties in nicely with the original book but is definitely all together a different book. The characters face a whole set of different issues, and honestly, they are a lot tougher than the original. In my opinion, even though this book is told from the perspective of the dog, it is more about the person, CJ (Clarity). Cameron does a great job of taking on the persona of different dogs and I found Max the Chihuahua tales especially endearing. I despised Gloria's character with a passion so he obviously did well in drawing her up. I hope I never know anyone like her. I was also really glad that there was an ending - a true ending - that brought some finality. As much as I enjoyed these 2 books, dragging it into a third would have been too much. As is, the novelty had worn off a little more with this second book but it does make me look at my dog a little differently."
