I haven't read enough dystopian stories with talking animals, so I'll check this book. The reference to the Bible may help readers understand its writings in a simplified manner, and the drama is perfect for the readers to turn the pages for more updates. Congratulations on the BOTD.

I wasn't particularly fond of this book and found it confusing. The storyline didn't captivate me either. Nonetheless, congrats on earning the Book of the Day recognition.

The honest assessment of violence and heavy themes brings a balanced perspective. Despite the darker aspects, the review highlights the novel's strengths in adventure, goodness, friendship, and romance. The well-edited nature of the book is also reassuring. This review definitely makes me consider reading "Of the Earth."

A puppy alone in a crumbling city, forming a friendship with a large cat named Carl. sounds intriguing. They are discovered by a wayfarer named Jim when he stops to fix his flat tire, and they begin adventure anew as they trek toward the Smoky Mountains in search of Jim’s friends and survival. This book sounds wonderful so congratulations on BOTD.

The book talks about the story of how a puppy finds herself alone in the destruction of a crumbling city where she met her friend named Carl. Both friends later met Jim and they all trek toward the Smoky Mountains in search of Jim’s friends. I like how animals were part of the book's dialogue and how the characters were well-developed. Nice review.

The fusion of dystopian and fantasy elements is intriguing. The talking animals and their involvement in the story's dialogue caught my attention. Exploring the Easter eggs of discovery, tied to scriptural footnotes, adds another layer of interest.
You are yet to be the best version of yourself. Keep refining.

A book that chronicles the adventures of a puppy, a cat, and a wayfarer. They really sounds great! I hope they finally found Jim's friends and survived the Smoky Mountains. As someone who enjoys adventure novels, I think I will enjoy reading this book!
Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

The strong character development, camaraderie, and themes of concern for others resonate with me. The way religious themes intertwine with the plot's dystopian backdrop seems thought-provoking. It's enticing how the book aims to transcend faith, appealing to a broad range of readers.

Friendship can blossom even between the least likely candidates. Using the Holy Bible as a source of inspiration makes the message of salvation more genuine. I hope they find more survivors.
