The book that I am reviewing today was written several years ago, but it is still available. "A Dog's Life" written by Peter Mayle is the story of the author's dog Boy. The story is told from Boy's perspective, and the dog recounts his days as a pup, his time with his first owners, and his days with the Mayle's.
This book is very funny, and I think it is one of Peter Mayle's best books. Accompanying the story are several humorous drawings provided by Edward Koren.
If you are looking for a book that is just fun to read and will let you laugh a little and forget the problems of the day, this book is for you.
Just to add, Peter Mayle is one of my favorite authors. His books about living in Provence are great especially the first one "A Year in Provence". I believe that the author tells about Boy coming to live with him in his book "Toujours Provence." In addition to these books, Mayle has written several novels including "Chasing Cezanne," "Hotel Pastis," "A Good Year," and "The Vintage Caper." They all make for enjoyable reading.
A Year in Provence has been made into a mini-series for British television. John Thaw starred as Peter Mayle. A lot of people didn't like the series, but I enjoyed it and would recommend it.
