Adorable book. A lot of fun. If you like quirky books with people who love animals, you will enjoy this. Realistic fiction with a dose of humor.

A nice book to read, not a thriller like the title makes you think, but a nice intelligent written story .
I enjoyed reading it, even it`s a book for teenager.
