Rating:  Summary: Keeps Readers Howlinng For More!!! Review: I put off reading Shiloh because I thought I hated dog stories. Then, after enjoying a similar book, I read it and loved it! It's about a boy, Marty, in West Virginia, who's desperate to save runaway dog Shiloh from his abusive owner. A great book that allows you to relate with the main character and gives you a chance to really think.However, for those of you who dislike "sappy" books or have a problem with saying I want a beagle too! at the end of it, this is not a book for you. On the other hand, if you like those types of things and are dying to know if Marty gets Shiloh, read and discover...

Rating:  Summary: Incredible Review: The first time I heard about this book was I overheard my 4th grade teacher say it was a GREAT book. So I thought i loved Because of Winn-Dixie which is a dog story and I saw Shilohs book cover and said I will be reading this. I read it complety and Phills did a charming job.GREAT,GREAT,GREAT BOOK IT IS FILLED WITH SOME LAUGHS AND ALOT OF HOPE AND SADNESS IN THIS BOOK. If there was more than 5 stars for rating I would have rated to the top top. I recommend Because of Winn Dixie and Shiloh GREAT BOOKS.
Rating:  Summary: Shiloh Review: Marty fell in puppy love the first time he saw a Redhound. What he didn't know was it was Judd Travers and that he mistreats his own dogs. The second time he saw it he took it home and took care of the dog. He built a pen on the hill for him. It wasn't a secret for long until the Bakers' dog chewed him up. Marty had named him Shiloh and Marty tries to save his live. This book is a happy and sad story and a good book.
Rating:  Summary: A Kid Who Risks His Life For A Dog Review: The main character is Marty. He loved the dog when he first saw him, and he named it Shiloh. His family wouldn't let him keep Shiloh because it was Judd's dog. I like this book because it talks about dog's having a big friendship with human's. The part I didn't really like is when some people abuse their dogs only because they do not obey their orders.

Rating:  Summary: A Great Read for the Younger Set Review: Although this is a "boy loves dog" story in the truest sense of the term, "Shiloh" adds the dimension of animal abuse that is a contemporary concern of all that love animals. Marty is a compassionate soul whose "hunting" is more of the investigative nature than the actual killing of an animal. This aspect of the boy's character is one of the strengths especially in light of the stereotypical view of all young boys in rural America having a passion for killing. Showing that it is just as "manly" to have concern for animals, as it to hunt them, is a concept that Ms. Naylor has cleverly presented. By having the characters speak in the language and manner of the West Virginia hills, Naylor has added authenticity to her prose. The conversations between the respective personalities are both insightful and entertaining. As I read the book, I felt as if these were real people speaking to me in their natural manner. Even though the principal is a boy, I am sure that all children, regardless of gender, can relate to this boy's courage and ingenuity. Marty's devotion to the animal is certainly an attribute that all should aspire to have for others. Because of the dog's presence in the family, there are subtle changes in the family. Mother and father discover maturity in their son that hey had not seen before; the boy becomes closer to his younger sisters; and Marty realizes that he possesses perseverance and resourcefulness that would benefit him for the rest of his days. Even an "enemy" of Marty becomes a respectful acquaintance. When I first began reading the book, I thought that it would take me through familiar territory. However, I was pleasantly surprised at its originality. I cared for this boy and his dog. Children will also have these same feelings.
