A Dog's Journey by W. Bruce Cameron is a touching, heartfelt book beautifully crafted and showing the loyalty of a dog and its owner. It has a good amount of descriptions - not too flowery or heavy, just sketching a quick picture of the characters. Good plot, demonstrating literary ability and very sentimental and emotional.

  3. omg ya
    But i didnt really like Emory's Gift.
    CJ is such a great character - all about overcoming burdens, being brave, developing herself, and building her self-esteem. Trent is so supportive too. But Buddy is the sweetest!!!!

    I prefer to be called a bookworm, not a book nerd.
    Books are an important part of mankind. Nerds are a bad term for a smart person.
