I will write a longer review later/in a few days.This book was pretty nice, at least in the beginning. Later on in the book it got quite confusing with the amount of characters. Bob, Mr. B, Luke, Lucy, Estelle, Eck, Mona. It was quite chaotic, and I sometimes didn't even know who was talking now.I r...

Bob's existence, like that of most teens, is a simmering stew of hormones, mood swings, mad lust and equally mad love. He is gainfully employed, as the creator and deity of our planet, so that's something. But he only got the job because his mother (Mona, kind of a party girl) won it in a celestial ...

Luckily for Earth, he also has an assistant, Mr. B, who is as responsible, far-seeing and wise (if a bit stodgy) as Bob ...

Bob is 19, a lazy, undisciplined kid, but he has enough sense to want to escape his reckless mother Mona, who most recently has gambled away his pet Eck in a poker game. On top of that, Bob's job is way over his head and his appointed helper Mr. B has come to resent picking up after him. Then Bob me...

The Page SageThere is No Dog is a contemplative novel with a deeper meaning carefully hidden by a very entertaining story. It's a quick read- hilarious, touching, and surprising.The cast, an equal assortment of lovable, pitiful, irritating, and hilarious characters, are perfectly written. Rosoff has...

I didn't get it.This is the third book I've read by Meg Rosoff, fourth if you count my failed attempt to start Just in Case. What I've discovered to be most true about Rosoff's novels is that reading and liking one is far from a guarantee that you will enjoy the rest - or, in fact, any of the others...
