Revell Christmas Dog, The - eBook

This contemporary Christmas story from Melody Carlson is a timely yet gentle reminder that God can work miracles through something as seemingly insignificant as a little brown dog. Hardcover.

This story is about an old lady who reminds me of Ebenzer Scrooge from A Christmas Carol. Unhappy & not on the best terms with her family, she feels that the Holidays are nothing to look forward to. The dog doesn't even enter the story until about halfway thru the book.
This book was hard for me to get into, I almost stopped reading it because the first couple chapters were so depressing & boring. Once I got past that, the book got better. Nevertheless, I never liked the main character (maybe I am too young to understand her, I am closer in age to her granddaughter).

Melody never lets me down - this is such an adorable story, full of surprises and a wonderful plot. I read the hardback form, but no matter how you read it, I can promise you a treat. Every time I stopped I had a smile on my face and couldn't wait to come back to it. It's a great story to read during the Christmas season, but to tell you the truth, I would have enjoyed it anytime. This little dog will steal your heart, and the rest of the characters will keep you wondering. It's at a fabulous price, so grab a copy for yourself.
I recommend this story for teens or adults.

I really enjoyed this Christmas story! I thought it was a little slow at first, but the story really picked up and it was wonderful! I borrowed this book from the library and I'm thinking about buying a copying for my bookshelf! :)

I purchased the hardcover book and enjoyed its message about pre-judging people, and going that extra mile with kindness to break down barriers of misunderstandings. Although this was my first Melody Carlson book I have read, I will be looking to purchase other books of hers that I might enjoy. (I say it in that way, because I am a guy and most of her books are mainly for girls or woman.) The characters were enjoyable, although as a writer myself, I would have choose a couple of different names instead of “Avery and Ralph”. The ending is what you expect to happen in that warm hearted Christmas spirit, to give you that satisfaction of a happy ending. The last few lines slightly fell short for me, as I think it could have been concluded with a little more punch. However, overall a very good story that I would recommend for people of all ages.
