Star Dog A.M. Lightner,
By
This review is from: Star Dog (Paperback)
This seems to be a pretty rare book now, as Amazon.ca doesn't even have an image - although Amazon.com does. I'm now 35 years old and still read a lot, so the fact that Star Dog still stands out in my memory so clearly is a sure tell sign that it's a great read. I read the book when I was about 11 or 12. I was visiting my Mother for the weekend and I borrowed the book from the library. I read the book through over the weekend and was completely absorbed. I remember the book actually making me cry at one point and I actually had to go find my Mom for some consoling. It obviously touched me on a deep level. I would say if you are a youngster, or have a youngster who loves animals and enjoys a great, imaginative story, this would be a really fun book to read. Hopefully this book is still obtainable and doesn't disappear forever. Check out Amazon.com for some other customer reviews and a little more detail on what the book is actually about. Happy reading!

enjoyable -- reminds me of Heinlein's kid stuff,
By Mousinator "~Mousinator~" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Star Dog (Paperback)
This is a pleasant little book that reminds me rather of Heinlein's young adult books. Fun, fascinating and memorable characters, teens dealing with real life problems, and science fictional ones. I read it as a youngster, and again a year or so ago. Quite a fun read, about a boy and his dog -- a dog that just happens to have special mind-reading powers.My library listed it in the children's book section, although it was probably really meant for teens, as the plot's premise takes awhile to set up. (Maybe not; I guess kids' books can be about teens.) Yes, you will see some campy stuff like the circus guy who wants to steal the dog, flying saucers, etc, but it's done enjoyably. Anyway, if you enjoy 60's era science fiction with the young adult, youthful-enthusiasm feel, along with a fun and interesting premise and a decent follow-through, you'll enjoy this. _I_ consider it as classic as Heinlein's "Star Beast," "Have Space Suit, Will Travel," and "Red Planet." See for yourself! 3 of 4 people found the following review helpful

Great Intro to Sci Fi for Kids or Teens,
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Star Dog (Paperback)
I read this as a teen and loved it. I hope that whoever owns the copyright for A. M. Lightner's writing will release this as an ebook. In the meantime, I'm planning to hunt down a used copy so I can share it with my kids.
