5.0 out of 5 stars Ferocious! Way Better Than Jaws!, December 28, 2004

This review is from: The dogs: A novel (Loose Leaf)

Although this little gem was written after Jaws and could be taken as a quick buck rip off, don't let that stop you from enjoying one of the most intelligent and well written books of this type, the 70's had to offer. This author wrote one of the most realistic and uncompromising depictions of conflict and confrontation between human and canine psychology, reading becomes a deeply moving experience. The Dogs has going for it what other Horror novels don't, this book is truly scary!!!. When the dogs attack a victim the author puts the reader into the experience, and it's incredibly unnerving. This book is not for the squeamish....Be prepared to cringe.

This review is from: The Dogs (Coronet Books) (Paperback)

This is one of the best books I have ever read. I read this book about 16 years ago as a teen. This is not a teen novel. I remember this book to this day. I scared to beegeebes outta me. I loved it! This book also had me in tears. It is a hard to find item now but if you can, FIND IT, READ IT, you will not be sorry!!!! It sure does give a new meaning to "Man's best friend."
