Doglands - the worst book I've read in 2023? / Book Review

In this video I explore my thoughts on the 2011 published book Doglands by Tim Willocks, deciding whether or not it's a worthy read in the small ocean of dog xenofiction.

Interesting review!
I'd love to see you review The Wolf Chronicles by Dorothy Hearst in the future!

[@2AlatoArtsAlot]

alrighty, I'll take a look at it!

Omg! Somebody else hates Doglands!? Finally, my people! I absolutely hated this book for so many reasons
Edit*
You touched on a lot of what annoyed me so much in this book. The author just cannot decide what message the book is meant to have. By the end, I was wondering if he just wanted us to release all of our dogs and the pound dogs into the wild (to starve to death I guess because this book is Irish and we have about 2 sq metres of wilderness). He seemed to despise all humans that interact with animals regardless of their actions and views.
The kicker? The author owns Furgal, the real-life dog, and got him from a shelter. I can't remember which one but most neuter as a standard.

Woah, I didn't know that Furgul was based on a real dog! Thanks for letting me know, that definitely adds a layer of oddness.

mabye you could do a review on endlings? or on the wolves of the beyond.

[@2AlatoArtsAlot]

Wolves of the Beyond is definitely on my list for when I have the time for a series, but I'll have to take a look at what endlings is all about.

I'm sorry... they *sexualize* the protagonist dog?

[@2AlatoArtsAlot]

Yes. A group of small female dogs talk about his genitals very excitedly. It was a very weird scene.
