"Told from the viwpoint of a dog - very interesting - lots of descriptive words to give the visuals since a dog doesn't talk! Good read - although I thought the ending was a bit strange. "

Rose in a Storm Listener Reviews
-
" Katz writes more non-fiction than fiction and it shows here in this novel in large part from the POV of the sheep dog Rose. It worked in "Call of the Wild," because the POV never changed. This may be a more accurate book, but it’s not better told. <em>And avoid it in the winter!</em> "

" really a good read... had to wait for it, my husband ( who rarely reads fiction) picked it up to thumb through it, and read it in 2 days. "
— Kathleen, 4/7/2011 -
" Sometimes I just like to read a good book about a good dog. OK, maybe some of it is a little bit hokie, but it's still worth the read. "

" Gripping book. I skimmed through the metaphysical parts but enjoyed the rest of it. "
— Stephanie, 3/14/2011 -
" Interesting work of fiction. It reads like a Katz book, but with a dog doing to speaking. It was a quick, fun read. "
— Matthew, 3/5/2011 -
" Rose in a Storm was a very good read, although I was left with a big huge unanswered question, and was extremely emotional for an avid animal lover as I am! "
— Lisa, 2/7/2011 -
" This book is about a smart sheepdog, Rose, as told by Rose. I thought it was a good, sad, tear jerker. You'll never guess who turns out to be Rose's father. It all ends well. Love a good dog book. "
— Kathy, 1/27/2011 -
" This was a real disappointment. Certainly not as strong as his nonfiction. "
— Melissa, 1/26/2011
