verity83Book 26: The Incredible Journey, Sheila Burnford. 160pp
I've read this book before, when I was young. It confused me massively at the time. I liked the pictures.
I decided to read it again to see if it made more sense. It did, but it required an immense amount of concentration on my part. The beginning and ending are the issue, trying to follow a myriad of human characters and their activities. Who's who? The middle part isn't hard at all to follow, really.
All in all though I really don't think it's that great of a book. Part of it could be my general non-interest in animal stories, particularly ones that deal mostly with dogs. Part of it could be its sometime absence of clarity. Part of it could just be the writing style, which to me is a bit lacklustre.
