Commentary In Favor Of 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.

Assessment Of Books The Dust of 100 Dogs

This was quite an unusual story.There were pirates, dogs and dog facts, a lot of violence, sex as well as the big loot.The story is about Emer/Saffron who are trying to retrieve something that was once hers.I liked how Emer and Saffron are somehow blended together; I always thought of Saffron being Emer and she also was, at least a part of her. But they were still not the same characters.The 1970's and 1980's were portrayed really great, I really enjoyed Saffron's indifference when being a

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 don't really know what to make of this book; I almost feel that the back of the books description was a better read than the book itself. Which is weird because I didn't not like it, but If I was truly honest with myself I didn't research it before reading because I loved the cover so much which has gotten me to read a lot Young Adult Books that ended up being terrible before, and that brings me to another reason I had an issue with this book because I don't feel this should be listed as a

Dust of 100 Dogs by A. S. King was a very interesting read. I was intrigued, confused, and captivated by the dual main characters Emer and Saffron. I enjoyed reading about Emers back story, and I felt compassion for her. However, I struggled with Saffron because she seemed damaged and mentally twisted, as a result of her past pirate life. I didnt quite know how to feel about her because at times I was repulsed by her thoughts. However, that didnt stop me from hoping she would accomplish her goal

There are a lot of things I could say about the writing and the structure of the book, and the alternating viewpoints, and the interestingness of it all, but what I really want to talk about is this:I'm kind of amazed at how dark this book is.  I mean, don't get me wrong, I sort of loved it, but my god...this is a dark book.  That description up ↑there↑ makes it sound sort of campy and quirky - a fun pirate romp.  Not so much.  Emer was a pirate in the full sense of the word: she stole and

I was excited about this book! A reincarnated female pirate who lived the lives of 100 dogs before returning to claim her buried treasure? How different! How unique! How action-packed! Right?Wrong.This book is the Neverending Backstory. The first 200 pages are nothing but backstory on the heroine's first miserable life in Ireland and her current miserable life as a high school student. The most piratical action we see is the modern-day incarnation fantasizing about stabbing people with a

Humans want to conquer everyone they can, and buy everything they see. I think this is because humans have forgotten how to be happy.This is an odd story but A.S. King always gives me odd ones that I end up loving. Parts fantasy but also real world, it was interesting to try to keep the story lines and characters in line. Dealing with the two time frames, the inner goals with outer reality was interesting to juggle too. I did love it but it was a different read.
