I like historical fiction books. I'd like to know more about the city of Brownville, New York, the place where the story is set. Thanks for the review.

Because I wasn't present during times like the world wars and the aftermath of it, I love engaging myself in books or movies that discuss about them. I think this book is going to be exciting to read because of the various characters the author had focused on. Congratulations on BOTD.

I'd like to know the connection of the title of this book to its story. A historical fiction that spans five decades? This is something else that interests me. Great review.

Historical novels are top tiers. I love that this genre has the potential to captures a decent amount of all time legends. This book is no exception, as the reviewer had mentioned two legendary names in this work. Overall, I think the storyline is brilliant and I'm looking forward to reading this book. Congratulations on BOTD.

A story that combined fact with fiction. I have never read about the story of Brownsville before but this story will make me love to read it. I like how the characters were well-developed. I'm glad you enjoyed reading this book. Thanks for the great reviews.

Fiction or nonfiction, I am drawn to books that follow an extended timeline. It makes me feel as though I am involved in the story as it progresses and the characters and setting evolve and age. This novel seems to be just that, with each character having their time in the limelight, so to speak. Congratulations on BOTD!

The dog of Brownsville by stan weisleder is an alternate history text. In a playful way, the article describes that the reserve isn't really chronological, but the user has the image that stan stayed in Brownsville at the time.

I'm not a good fan of historical fictions so I think this book would be a pass for me. Although I would love to read it since the book says it's a faction, meaning there would be lessons from it. Congratulations on winning BOTD.

Today's BOTD is The Dogs of Brownsville by Stan Weisleder. I like that the book is not totally a faction but also contains fact. This means readers have lots to learn from it. Nice review. Congrats on winning BOTD.

Thank you for such an interesting and very honest review. I truly love the word “faction”. That alone had me interested in the book and sadly I was very happy with the first several pages of the sample that I read. But thanks to your honesty, I will not read any further. I don’t read books with lots of profanity, especially that much!!!

This is an I credible fit by the author as he wrote a coherent novel from the events that happened over a decade ago. This will be an enjoyable read for those that don't bother about profanity.

I admire books that seem biographical even if they are not. This love the pattern of the review which motivates me to go in search of the story.

Today's BOTD is a combination of fact and fiction. The story covers a long period of time, with each chapter introducing a new character. Nice review.

It sounds like a good story of "faction " to be enjoyed by the fans of historical fiction. Thank you for the review.
