No awards This is a hard book to review because it is so painful to read. Overall it was well-written, though some of the middle sections could have used tighter editing, and the tagged-on ending, welcome as it was, just felt weird and a little too tongue-in-cheek for the tone of the rest of the book (though in an England where the bad guys are named things like Boycott and they run a research lab called ARSE, I suppose it fit better than it might have otherwise). But the fact is that a book that starts with descriptions of animal abuse, and proceeds with animal suffering for a few hundred pages, can be important and well-executed, but will never be the ideal for comforting evening reading by the fire. Adams writes a book about two dogs who escape from an animal experimentation station. They are physically and mentally traumatized by the torture done to them, but they have no idea what is in store for them, trying to live as wild animals in the Scotland Highlands in winter. This is a lovely tale and it's written with lovely language, and worth every one of its five stars. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: Richard Adams, the author of Watership Down, creates a lyrical and engrossing tale, a remarkable journey into the hearts and minds of two canine heroes, Snitter and Rowf. After being horribly mistreated at a government animal-research facility, Snitter and Rowf escape into the isolation—and terror—of the wilderness. Aided only by a fox they call "the tod," the two dogs must struggle to survive in their new environment. When the starving dogs attack some sheep, they are labeled ferocious man-eating monsters, setting off a great dog hunt that is later intensified by the fear that the dogs could be carriers of the bubonic plague. .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
