From Product Description:

While the story was very good, listening to it on CD brought so much to the characters of Adam and Chance. It was like a performance, right there in my car! Fred Berman and Rick Adamson nailed their parts. Bravo!

I really enjoyed this book. It kept me captivated wanting to know what happened next. Being a lover of dogs and having enjoyed "Marley and Me" and "The Art of Racing in The Rain" and "Edgar Sawtelle", it was one I have added to my shared list and will highly recommend. It's not too long either.

A man, powerful, brave and tough, but damaged by life and emotionally scarred, on a downward spiral. A dog, powerful, brave and tough, but damaged by life and physically scarred, on a downward spiral. Will they meet? Can they save each other? Take a wild guess. If not exactly original or surprising, the story here is well executed and heart warming. Alternating between third-person narration from the man's point of view and first-person narration from the dog's, the book has just the right touch for this sort of thing, and dog lovers (like this one) enjoyed the tale.

Kleenex alert! Anyone who's ever set foot in an animal shelter or been involved with dog rescue will love this book. Does a great job of showing the gritty side of animal rescue, the tough decisions involved, etc. But more than that, does a great job of showing the re-birth of a self-absorbed, success-obsessed, but truly malcontent man. We could all take a few lessons from Adam as he learns to appreciate and focus on what really matters. Hopefully most of us "get it" without having to endure the tough lessons Adam has to face to reach his destination. The dog's point of view provides some comical relief from the serious storyline, and I love the fact that the author chose a pit bull for a story about redemption. By the end, I ended up glossing over the last few pages because I HAD to know how it turnd out! The story is that engrossing. (I went back and re-read them.)

I really enjoyed this story. It's about Adam March and his dog, Chance, and they each tell part of the story. The book was easy to get into, moved along and I really like the characters. Since The Art of Racing in the Rain, I've become a fan of the dog having a voice. While it was an enjoyable read, I do wish we knew the characters a little more. There's a lot to the story; his relationships with his father, sister, and daughter are complicated, but it's important and I just wanted a little more. <br /> <br />In my opinion, I would have loved to know more about the dogs that are abused in the dog fight circuits. I know the book is not about dog's rights, but it was a great forum to talk about the misrepresentation and misuse of Pit Bulls. <br /> <br />It gets 3 stars because I wanted more, 4 would have been a satisfying read, and 5 is saved for books so good I wish I hadn't read it yet. <br /> <br />
