Official Review: ODIN by Riano D. McFarland

[AvidBibliophile]

Animals can play such an significant role in emotional recovery, although it is often overlooked. It sounds like this a great story that seeks to highlight this. Thanks for the warm and thorough review!

An excellent point indeed!! Emotional support animals are often a huge benefit in the recovery of trauma survivors. Thanks so much for stopping by to read, comment, and share your thoughts!

The plot of this book seemed so compelling and human that I immediately thought it was a true story. I'm impressed that the author was able to create such an emotional bond between his characters, and more so by this review which pointed that out flawlessly. Amazing work!

I tried to nurse a puppy back to health once but unfortunately it didn't survive. It gladdens me to learn Odin had Katherine to save it. I find dogs to be the most loyal of pets. Great review.

It’s a very hard task to successfully nurse a baby animal (wild or domesticated) back from the brink. Huge hugs to you for trying as best you could. My dog is my everything, so that sense of loyalty and unconditional love is what gets me through every day. Thank you so much for your sweet words!

Labradors make amazing pets! Odin's story sounds heartwarming. Even though this is a fictional story, there is truth behind this dog's amazing abilities to learn new things. I enjoyed your review.

For sure they do!! I think their only downfall might be all the dog hair they shed, but their love and intelligence is worth it. Odin was a great role model for canine companions everywhere! Thanks so much for coming by to read and chat.

This is the 2nd book I’ve read by this author (the other was about a boy and his dragon who could shape-shift into a dog) and that’s a unique quality common to them both - the realistic tone! These characters pull you in, leave you shocked, and have you crying by the end. I was beyond impressed. Thank you for the kind words!

I gave up on dog books after reading Old Yeller and Where the Red Fern Grows as a child, but this book sounds heartwarming and interesting at the same time. Thanks for a great review!

I have a great appreciation for this author and have read more than one of his heartwarming stories! Thank you so much for gaining the overall impression I hoped to convincingly convey in my words. Your sweet comment means a lot!

Ok, so I will admit that I legit cried reading this one. In the exact same way that Where the Red Fern Grows emotionally yanked me apart as a teenager, the ending of this one did too. If the human characters expire, I somehow just take it in stride. But when a dog reaches his end, tears are absolutely unavoidable. I still definitely recommend it! But yeah, it got me good. Thanks for your sweet words!

Oh man, same. Those two books just wrecked me as a kid. They're in kind of the same vein as My Girl or Bridge to Terabithia. I can't do books or movies with dead puppies or dead kids.

Thank you! I'm excited, I've read tons of indie and self-published books on my Kindle over the years and I'm always looking for more And now with the quarantine, there's plenty of time to sit and read a while!
