Review of "A Dog's Purpose" on 'Goodreads'

1 star

My daughter bought this book for my wife at her school's book fair because it has a cute dog on the cover. Some how I got nominated to be the one to read it. The book's point of view as the dog was interesting for a bit but got quite annoying after a couple chapters. A dog's brain isn't complex and interesting enough to want to be inside it for that long.

I started put down, started again and then after 6-7 chapters just skimmed through the rest.
