![]() ![]() When I got to the scene that I thought was supposed to be that scene, I didn't care at all.I just kept reading. When I picked up a book called "My Irish Dog" I expected to get to a scene with the dog that would just destroy me emotionally. It was just a lot going on that felt convoluted and in the end, I didn't follow how all of the storylines fit together and I didn't feel like most of the story lines wrapped up well.Īll of that is to say that there was a lot going on and it made it difficult for me to connect with any of the characters. There was the storyline with the pub owner and his seemingly magical insights. There was Spencer's friendship with the kid at the market, which led to a weird homophobic scene. ![]() There was the storyline of Spencer endlessly and repetitively trying to find Shandy (and why did he even leave her somewhere if he was just going to spend so much time trying to find her). There was the storyline around fishing, which I guess was necessary for Spencer to find Shandy, but felt repetitive at times. The book started off with Spencer's credit card being mysteriously declined at the first B&B (which created one story line that I feel like was not necessary and wrapped up in a weird way). It seemed like the author took every idea for a book and tried to cram it into one book, which caused me to feel like there was just too much going on. I can see that I am in the minority, but this book was just not for me.
