If there was a zero star rating, I would have used it.
I have read many of this type of book, both fiction and non-fiction- Merle's Door, Walking in Circles Before Lying Down, The Art of Racing in the Rain. These were all incredible, heart-wrenching, beautifully written books.Rescuing Sprite is a TERRIBLE book. Not only is the writing absolutely horrendous and boring, you never get to love the dogs in the book because the author mostly writes about himself. I have never quit a book before, but I just couldn't get more than halfway through. I was angry with the book the entire time I was reading and couldn't let go of the fact that it was such a horrible book. I can't believe that the average rating for this book is above 1 star. Every single chapter ends with "and little did we know that Sprite's days were limited" or something like that.I was on a long flight at the time, and read the SkyMall magazine instead. That's really saying something.Absolutely do not spend a dime on this book. Buy one of the above mentioned books instead.
