A review by pattydsf
Dogs and Water by Anders Nilsen

3.0

It is hard to say that I read this book. There are not words on many of the pages. So I feel like I looked at the story rather than read it and while looking I may not have seen everything that I should have. Apparently I am not alone in my bewilderment. The Washington Post reviewer wrote (this book) "will leave you wondering if you've read a book or walked through a dream".

The tale lasts less than 100 pages with two main characters on a journey. I wanted to say that there wasn't much action, but that is not true. I usually say that I read to discover new worlds and this was a very new world for me. I just did not understand what was going on. I do have to say that the book has stuck with me and I keep thinking about the meaning of the drawings.

I recommend this book to those who are interested in expanding their reading horizons; to folk who like open-ended tales and to all who like reading graphic novels.
