The characters were vivid and interesting. It was easy to get into and very easy to understand the back stories without having to read the previous books. That being said, it stood alone from the other two books.
I picked up this book without realizing that it was the third in the series. The Lies That Bind: A Bibliophile Mystery A tip of the hat to the Levin family for giving Oogy a chance at life and for making his life a good one. While this book frustrated me at points, it also was heart warming that so much love could be given to a dog who wouldn’t fight, a dog used as bait and who needed reconstructive surgery and a dog who had numerous medical needs such as ACL surgery. While it’s sad and unfortunate that dog fighting is part of our society, it’s good to know there’s people in the world willing to help rehabilitate the dogs that have had awful lives. The Vet, the vet tech, the police, the Levin family- they all gave Oogy a second chance at life. It’s sweet that everyone gave Oogy a chance. But it seems like Oogy had more of an impact on Mr. The Levins lead an interesting life- I’ll admit. I did like how the book wasn’t just about Oogy but Oogy’s impact on his family. Instead, they coddled him and let him get away with bad manners. And such he was used at bait at such a young age- his memory of the horrific experiences should have been forgotten with time. I understand he had a horrible start to life and that one would be prone to spoil and coddle such a dog, but let’s face it… a little manners wouldn’t have hurt. A little obedience training would have gone a long way with Oogy. I just don’t understand while people don’t discipline their dogs or take them to training. I started reading this book and thought it would be different than other such heart warming dog tales, but the similarities between Oogy and Marley were too much to ignore.
