A Big Little Life CD: Memoir of a Joyful Dog [Abridged, Audiobook] [Audio CD]

Dean Koontz (Author, Reader)

Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

Was she really an angel? The author swears his golden retriever, Trixie, was just that. In a joyful tribute to a joyful dog, the master of the mysterious, Dean Koontz, recounts the arrival of a retired service dog into his household, and the profound changes she wrought in the lives of those who loved her. Koontz's gentle narration makes up in sincerity what it lacks in polish. The self-effacing tone of his prose comes through clearly in his quiet voice, as do the overwhelming love and admiration he gives to Trixie without reservation. Anyone who has been blessed with the love of a remarkable dog will be captivated by this touching story. R.L.L. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

It is the most heartwarming story I have heard in a long time. Since it is an audio book read by the author, his feelings come through.

I highly recommend this book. Not being a fan of Koontz's "darker" writing, I thoroughly enjoyed this uplifting story of the ways Trixie impacted their life. As an avid reader, usually one book a year makes a terrific impression on me. This year, it was this book, and I purchased several copies of the book and CD (hopefully being "abridged" it will still be wonderful) for family and friends. Looking forward to their feedback.
