Katie Up and Down the Hall: The True Story of How One Dog Turned Five Neighbors into a Family Audiobook

" Good read. Animal lovers will really enjoy this one. Single man with his dog and how this dog brought this New York Apartment Floor together. She was truly a "social" gal. Lots of laughter and some tears. Enjoyable, worthwhile, quick read. Happy reading... "

" Plaskin's book about his little Cocker Spaniel Katie and their lives together in Battery Park, NYC is a must-read for anybody that enjoys relationship-centered books. Although Katie is the catalyst for many of Plaskin's friendships, the book is about more than just Katie. It is about how we touch those around us, and how our family can be made up of more than just blood relatives. This book is very well-written and compelling. "

" If you know me, you know I love all animals, and that I've been rescuing dogs, cats, and parrots for years. Despite that, I just couldn't get into this book. I couldn't relate to the neurotic author who started out afraid of dogs, and wasn't excited by the celebrity anecdotes. I much preferred "Homer's Odyssey" in the genre, "I'm a New Yorker who survived 9/11 with my special pet", although it's obvious YMMV because I'm the only person here who isn't in love with "Katie Up and Down the Hall". "

" A great story, not well-written, in my opinion. But I couldn't put it down. Well, I read it very quickly to find out what happened, but in a sort of skimming fashion. "

" I want to be Katie! "

" Enjoyable, sweet story, but almost a bit too sweet. I did find the narrative regarding September 11 very interesting. "

" Easy read that will make you cry your eyes out! The true story of how DOG made FAMILY! "

" Sweet story, but predictable and not very well written. "

" Very touching true story about the how a special dog brought several neighbors together as a true family. "

" This was a wonderful story. It was about an amazing Cocker Spaniel, and also about the families she touched. "

" This is truly one of my favorite books. If you love dogs, you will agree. "

" A wonderful book! Wonderfully written. This is a book about community, love, what a family really is and of course, the unconditional love of a dog. I just really LOVED it! "

" Not a bad book. Just a bad choice for me.... "

" Should have thought this over before I read it. Is there a book about a beloved dog anywhere where the dog doesn't die? I sobbed for hours as I read how Katie died as it was identical to my experience wih Wally in June of 2009. "

" I loved this book, it is totally sappy yet wonderful and exactly what I was in the mood for when I read it. It speaks to what family is and means and confirms my long-held contention that dogs are often really angels here on earth. "

" LOVED it! As a dog lover this hit home! Must read "

" I loved this book. It was an amazing story about finding family and the journey of life. Pearl and Katie have taken root in my heart and I cherish my own three cocker spaniels so much more after reading how much Glenn loved his. "

" This was a wonderful story. It was about an amazing Cocker Spaniel, and also about the families she touched. "

" Sweet and nice, but not great. "

" This was a really good read. Great stories of how this little dog connected so many people's lives. "

" The true story of a dog that unites neighbors, this should be heartwarming but isn't because the author is so unlikeable. But as all dog stories go, the dog passes on at the end which piques the loss of all the author's friends. You'll cry for the dog but not for the author. "

" Once I started reading this book, I could not put it down. I finished it in one day! It's a great story about the love between a man and his dog and how so many other lives were touched by Katie! "

" This is truly one of my favorite books. If you love dogs, you will agree. "

" Cute. A bit gratuitous. I am interested now in living in battery park city. "

" Good book. I did cry at one point and laugh at others. "

" Sweet story -if you love animals,give it a try! "

" I'm a sucker for dog books and this one is delightful. "

" Another good dog book. This one is a real tear jerker though. A very heartwarming tale of a dog & five people who live on the same hallway in Battery Park City over 15 years. I could not put it down.... "
