Andrés Felipe _ndres_incon — So far so good!

Sophie Salomé _ophie_alome — Is there a button called "not finished, never will"? 100 pages in, I couldn't get into this one. Sorry, Shannon, maybe next time!

Alysia Miller alysia — L.A. Mental was provided to me by the lovely folks at Harper and I will confess at the outset that I'm not usually a huge thriller girl. This is important because I do always want to give my reviews context...reading for Harper encourages me to step out of my box, but that is sometimes reflected in my opinion. This is an interesting mix between the detective/thriller genre and a bit of sci-fi. Tom Crandall gets caught up in drama when one brother takes a fall after going a bit nutty, another brother becomes deeply involved in a movie project headed by a cult-ish leader, and a sister is threatened by the nutty-going brother. The movie producer character has all sorts of theories and seems to be playing out mind control theses on his followers and his detractors. There's a beautiful love interest and several sketchy potential villains in the mix, along with family money and secrets that make the Crandall clan a target. I'm rounding down to 3 from a preferred 3.5 stars. It just didn't compel me. It read fast and easy and it did hold my interest okay, but I never got emotionally involved which I need. The characters were a bit too simply drawn for my tastes. The author definitely leaves room for a sequel but I don't feel any need to seek it out. However, I do think that my genre bias is at play and would guess a thriller fan might round up to 4. To use an overused (including by me) phrase, "it is what it is" and that just isn't my style. •

Jake Michaelson jakemichaeb123 — My thinking on choosing to read this: "Watership Down, about DOGS?!?" Could life be more perfect? Ooof, was I ever off-base. Granted, there's no mistaking. These are both unquestionably by the same author. Pastoral scenes are vivid, the animals' modes of thinking are vivid, the scale is epic... and yes, Watership Down has head-scratchy moments where the animal's perspective makes something familiar to humans alien, scenes of terror that get practically drug-trippy, parts that wring your heart because terrible horrible things happen to innocent animals... and Plague Dogs has all of those too. BUT. The dark and scary is all the darker and scarier. The sunniness of the lapine outlook, against all expectation, is not copied in the canine outlook. (If there's any animal happier than a dog--well, any land animal, dolphins have an unfair advantage, being as they're already grinning--I defy you to show me a rival to a happy dog... I do think Adams emphasized the servility a lot to convey how abused the dogs were, but he ought to have acknowledged the natural buoyancy of dogs.) The rabbits, Adams tells us, shake off each night of terrors like a dream when the next day dawns and summer warms everyone up again. The two plague dogs are only worn at more and more. I think part of it is the actual damage done to the animals. Snitter, the Fiver of this book, is intelligent but tortured. And he's not grounded as well by Rowf, his companion, the way Fiver is by Hazel, because Rowf too has been tortured. Moreover, man is more explicitly the enemy here, and unlike dispassionate crows, badgers, dogs, cats, etc, of Watership Down, the inhumanity of men in in Plague Dogs is personal, and inventive. The ending is torturous to the animal lovers who read it (namely myself,) but I have to say, it fits perfectly. And I'm willing to take the half-comfort it offers because those poor plague dogs? They deserve a rest.
