Narration Supposing Books The Dust of 100 Dogs

In the late seventeenth century, famed teenage pirate Emer Morrisey was on the cusp of escaping the pirate life with her one true love and unfathomable riches when she was slain and cursed with "the dust of one hundred dogs," dooming her to one hundred lives as a dog before returning to a human body-with her memories intact.

Now she's a contemporary American teenager and all she needs is a shovel and a ride to Jamaica.

Notice Out Of Books The Dust of 100 Dogs

DNF page 126.At a third of the way into the novel, not only are there no pirates to speak of yet, I'm sick of reading about Emer/Saffron (as she's called in her 20th C reincarnation) and her incessant whinging. Even the historical chapters detailing Emer's childhood (and pre-pirate life) during Cromwell's 17th century invasion of Ireland bored me - the writing felt childish and immature, and while that may have been an attempt to reflect Emer's young age (around 6 years old), I don't think you

Over the last few months I have come to be a huge fan of author A.S. King. Please Ignore Vera Dietz was one of my favorite reads of last year and following that experience I was quick to add all of her books to my TBR and pick them up. My second foray into her writing was The Dust of 100 Dogs and I can definitely say that this one threw me for a loop. This novel is unlike anything I have ever read and is incredibly ambitious. I think King pulled off something so out there really well even though

Let me just say that I love the idea of this book. A girl who has suffered poverty, famine, loss, and abuse in 17th century Ireland winds up finding herself in the role of scourge of the seven seas and just when she thinks that she has it all made, she ends up dead and cursed to live out one hundred lifetimes as a dog. Sounds like a really terrific and original idea, right? Well, it is. Its just not executed very well. This story feels rushed, bland, and forgettable. So I say five stars for the

Impossible to describe, incredibly well written, one of the most creative YA releases of this year. I wouldn't have believed anyone could have stitched together one novel that spans hundreds of years and Ireland, Jamaica and New Jersey. You have to commit to this story, and then focus, because you have to use your brain just to keep up with the rollicking, wandering plot. A top-shelf, thinking person's YA add. Will be cherished in libraries for the lifetime of at least another 100 dogs!

The Dust of Dogs could have been a much better book. Should have been, but the gimmicks probably do the trick to sell it, so why would anyone care about doing something more? Sigh. That's not a resigned sigh. I still expect waaay more. It's not the worst book ever, it's readable and reasonably entertaining, but my mind wouldn't shut off while reading it.If I were A.S. King's editor or best buddy proof reader (and doesn't get dog poop flung at her for voicing her honest opinions)...The

I saw this book cover all over the Internet for several weeks but never looked into the storyline because it didn't seem like my kind of book (judging by the cover). Then I read what it was about and saw the trailer and was instantly intrigued. A girl who becomes a pirate, is cursed to live the lives of 100 dogs before resuming human form again and searching for her buried treasure? Pretty cool!It was a good book but my expectations where high so I was disappointed. It was slow to get into.

Originally posted at Small ReviewThis is not the book I signed up forI was expecting a high seas adventure with pirates, epic love, reincarnation, a unique curse, and exciting treasure hunts. Instead I got a fractured story that never went anywhere and had gratuitous rape, sex, animal abuse, and violence. Based on the description, I really wanted to read this book. I still do. Unfortunately, that isnt the book A. S. King wrote.The plot that went nowhereI felt like an abused donkey with a carrot
