5.0 out of 5 stars Wonerful! One of the best animal stories of our time!, April 9, 1999
By staffeil@execpc.com (Oconomowoc, Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
'Only' is a heartwarming, enduring, and, at times, funny account of life, love and family as seen through the eyes (and the heart) of a dog named Only. Winston Groom uses beautiful yet simplistic language without having the need to make the dog actually talk. You feel what Only feels by his experiences and his reactions to them. Groom takes you into the heart and mind of what is truely man's best frined. The story moves quickly but without sacrificing any grace. Once you read 'Only' you'll never be able to call your dog just a "dog" again.... read this with your dog curled up next to you so he's there when you need to give him a hug.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Afternoon Read, January 18, 1999
By A Customer
A fantastic book that any animal lover is sure to appreciate. Can easily be read in one afternoon. A box of tissues is a prerequisite to this very touching, sometimes funny look at life through a dog's eyes.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'Only' may be best book of the year for this reader!, July 27, 2006
Looking for a dynamic, absorbing, page turner of a book with clean language and content? You have to read this one. If you are not a dog lover before reading 'Only' you will be after.
I've been reading and collecting books for 40 years and this is one of the best!!
