Product Description
New from Alison Pace, the author of Pug Hill.

After her divorce, Amy Dodge thought shed finally write the next Great American Novel. Instead shes written a bestselling childrens book series, Run, Carlie, Run! starring her adorable and spirited West Highland White terrier and a dashing (but fictional) Scottish explorer. When Carlie is offered a starring role in her own television show, and the explorer begins to take on a life of his own, Amys world takes a surreal turn.

But just when Amy starts thinking its a dogs life after all, she figures out a way to make everything change. And though life in New York isnt always a walk in the park, it might just take her exactly where she needs to be.

5 out of 5 stars City Fun   November 20, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Who wouldn't love a novel that is centered on a cute and funny White Terrier? My neighbors have two and they have such wonderful personalities but, back to Alison's wonderful novel, "City Dog." This novel is very unique in that Alison uses various view points to relay her messages throughout the novel. Even Carlie (the main character, Amy's Terrier) has her turn at telling the story. These individual and unique viewpoints pulled me through Amy and Carlie's experiences as I was interested in what each individual character thought about the events in the novel.

Our main character Amy, works through many real-life situations as she struggles with independence and finding herself and her direction in life. Amy is a very relatable character in which a young woman would easily share the very same interpersonal struggles. It takes Amy quite a while with many different experiences to gain self esteem and realize that she is a strong independent woman. At the conclusion of the novel, Amy is a confident young woman who has finally found her life direction and acts on her self-discoveries.

I truly enjoyed experiencing and working through Amy and Carlie's situations, but was especially happy that Amy had found inner peace at the end of this novel.

As a side note for Alison - I hope the "Carlie" children's books are in the works because I know for a fact my kids would love to read the adventures of Carlie and Robert Maguire!



4 out of 5 stars dog-gone good book!   November 13, 2008

As a dog lover, I was unable to resist a novel that is narrated (in part) by a dog and CITY DOG did not disappoint! I loved how easily Alison Pace got into the the head of Carlie and found the dog insights witty and charming. Amy Dodge, Carlie's hapless owner, was so easy to relate to and quite lovable and I was pleasantly surprised by the novel's ending. A very good read!


4 out of 5 stars its a dog's eye view...and the view is great   November 12, 2008

This is such a fun read...the chapters alternate between Carly (the dog) narrating and her owner...it is so fun to "hear" what Carly is thinking...even if you aren't a dog owner it is still a lot of fun to follow along on her journey to stardom and all that comes with it on that ride...it makes one realize there are perspectives other than our own in any given situation and those other perspectives can be hilarious!

it's a mildly pleasant read but a little slow. not a book I couldn't put down. I put it down quite a few times before I finished. the best chapters by far were the ones actually narrated by the dog. at this pace excels.


5 out of 5 stars A warm-hearted fun read!   November 7, 2008

CITY DOG tells the story of Amy, a recently divorced woman who's on the way to writing the Great American Novel. In the meantime, though, she's the author of the bestselling children's books, RUN, CARLIE, RUN!, based on the imagined adventures of her dog, Carlie. When Carlie gets offered a starring role in a cable show, Amy begins to question the direction her life is going, and what she truly wants out of life.

You don't have to be a dog lover to fall in love with CITY DOG. Told by alternating narrators, I found the story so relatable--who hasn't questioned the path their life is on? Alison's writing truly shines in this charming tale of a woman finding her way. CITY DOG is funny, wistful, and touching.

I would highly recommend CITY DOG.
