What Wendell Wants : or, How to Tell If You're Obsessed with Your Dog

Rating:
Summary: Busted!!
Review: As a dog lover and owner this book had me laughing out loud and itching for more. You can't help but fall in love with Wendell through the wild stories Jenny tells. If you deny being an obsessed dog owner I dare you to read this book. You'll be surprised at how many ridiculous things you do for your beloved pooch. I hope there will be more to come from Wendell and Jenny.

Summary: Obsessed, I Admit It!
Review: I had two different friends call me up and tell me about this book, which is probably the biggest indicator that I am obsessed with my dog, Higgins. I took their advice and bought What Wendell Wants and I'm so glad that I did, because I laughed all the way through it. Jenny Lee really opens up her life to you and shares lots of stories about her dog Wendell and his place in her life. What I found interesting is that she knows she's obsessed but seems a bit unsure about what to make of it, but by the end she realizes that it's okay because she knows it all comes from love. There are also lots of hilarious snippets included, top ten lists and even a breakdown of different type of owners I'm proud to say I'm the "Raging Neurotic". It's nice that she can laugh at herself, first, before she laughs at others. If you have a dog who is more than "just a dog" this is the book for you. p.s. my dog Higgins couldn't agree more.

Summary: Loved it, and YES I am an obsessed dog owner
Review: I was given this book by a friend, since my dog is also named Wendall (with an A) and I have to say, besides relating to MUCH of the book, I loved the way Jenny writes. I had never read anything by her before, that I am aware of, but I now a huge fan and can't wait to to read more! I felt her writing was intersting, smart and most of all FUNNY! I laughed out loud at times, with my own Wendall right at my side.
I can't wait to have my other friends, be them dog lovers or not, read this. It is wonderul!!!

Summary: Too too precious
Review: Jenny Lee is the author of another book written prior to this one which seems to have received decent reviews, but she has also been a writer for such magazines as "Redbook". I believe this sort of writing is where her talent, as such, must lie. As a person who shares my home with five dogs, I adore my canine friends and family members and usually enjoy reading about the antics of other dogs, too, but this silly book -- complete with many sections written in ALL CAPS for emphasis (and lots of precious parenthetical asides, too!)-- was, regrettably, more than my stomach or patience could bear. After a couple of irritating chapters, it has been placed on the reject pile.
