Book Reviews of The Plague Dogs: A Novel
Book Review: A Beautiful Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This really is a super novel. The copy just acquired is my third copy, having had the film tie-in before and prior to that the late seventies original paperback. Read first when at school, I fell in love with the book having absorbed the wonders of Watership Down - although Plague Dogs is far from a childrens book. Mixing the wonderful companionship of Rowf and Snitter, the horrors of the animal testing station, the excitement of escape and the evocotive Lake District countryside the story charts the dogs' progress on their journey without sidestepping the realities of life in the wild - for 2 dogs used to having their food provided for them; rather than becoming hunters and scavengers themselves whilst the worst hunter of all, man, is hunting them. Buy this book and treasure it. This copy has a beautiful glossy cover of the two escapees and as an American print the northern dialect has been slightly toned down but without losing the charm of the book. Prepare to enjoy, enthrall, laugh - and probably cry too.
