Bring "Dogsbody" back into print!

"Dogsbody" is one of those children's books with real literary merit - my mother stole it out of my bookshelf and read it herself with guilty pleasure. The main characters are complex and never flat, and Wynne Jones conjures up vivid scenes with a few deft strokes of detail. It's one of her best books, and I think it's an incredible shame that young teens in the future won't be able to enjoy it like I did. I'm going to hoard my copy for MY children!

The best book in the world!

This must be, if not the best, one of the best books in the world! Read it! It's a fantastic, fun, lovable, great book with everything in it. I read it first when I was nine or ten years old, and I fell in love with it at once. A luminary who becomes a dog... that is a very fascinating story. Read it!!!

Dogsbody Truly a Triumphant Tale

Dogsbody is one of the best fantasy stories I have ever read. I picked up a copy at the library when I was in the 5th grade. I am now 19 years old and each year I am sure to check it out from the library once a year. Whenever I read it, it brigns back all the wonder and amazement that I held when I read it for the first time. Dianne Wynne Jones does a wonderful job in the descriptive sense, especially from a dog's point of view. The plot is well developed and full of excitement... and she mixes in characters of Celtic myth quite well.. all of which makes for an amazing story! Now I just have to find out how to get a copy to keep all for myself..

A Classic, which should be enjoyed by future generations.

I am 30 years old, and an aspiring author, and there have been a few books which over the years have played key roles in the shaping of my style. Dogsbody is one of them. I picked the book up at a used book sale at my local Public Library when I was 12 years old, and have never let it get far out of my sight since. In fact, if there was a fire in my home, my copy of Dogsbody would be one of the treasures that would go out the door with me as I fled. Diana Wynne Jones has my eternal admiration and respect, and if you are not one of the fortunate people who have read Dogsbody, then I suggest doing what it takes to get your hands on a copy. (No matter what your age.) It is a masterpiece. (I understand that the book is out of print, but it is worth searching out.) If I may use the weapon for which Sirius searches in the book as a metaphor, then I would like to say, "May you all find your Zoi." -Rod Gray-

An exceptional fantasy book for dog lovers!

This book is a real treat. I read it two years ago and still rank it as one of the best books I've ever read. The idea of the dog star (Sirius) turning into a dog is most unusual and one of the reasons why I like this book so much. There's nothing quite like it. What's more, Sirius learns some important lessons about friendship. People who want something a little different should definitely consider it.
