Dogsbody | Diana Wynne Jones

A funny, heartbreaking, stunning book by the legendary Diana Wynne Joneswith an introduction by Neil Gaiman. The Dog Star, Sirius, is tried - and found guilty - by his heavenly peers for a murder he did not commit. His sentence: to live on the planet Earth until he can carry out a seemingly impossible mission - the recovery of a deadly weapon known as the Zoi. The first lesson Sirius learns in his lowly earthly form is that humans have all the power. The second is that even though his young mistress loves him, she can't protect either of them. The third - and worst - is that someone out there will do anything to keep Sirius from finding the Zoi. Even if it means destroying Earth itself. This funny, heartbreaking, stunning book features an introduction by Neil Gaiman, an avid fan of Diana Wynne Jones. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Hoping to have these two finished by the end of the day as my last two books of 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣0️⃣

46 pages to go between the two of them

Suspect I might cry at the end of Dogsbody but we‘ll see.

Can anyone explain the anti-Irish “jokes” in this passage to me? I understand it‘s some kind of anti-Irish sentiment, but I don‘t see the connection to being upside-down.

If you ever loved a dog or cat or any pet, this story of the Dog Star Sirius condemned to earth to live as a dog for a crime he is framed for is stunning in its descriptions of animal/human interaction. (There are also cats in his life.) Fantasy, mystery, and unconditional love that will break your heart.

This goofy pup is laying on the back of my chair like a little cat. Not even half of his body fits. 😂

#rightnow Josh is getting ready for work and I am wasting Tim til he leaves. It's easier to read when he's not talk to me. #augustgrrrl #dogsoflitsy Dali patiently waits. Flib is under the bed.

#celestial #riotgrams @bookriot So Sirius, the dog star, is sentenced to life on Earth as an actual dog for losing a mysterious object. Then it gets weird. /detail from cover.

So, the end left me feeling all kinds of things. I couldn't sort it out. Then, I remembered that Neil Gaiman wrote the introduction, and in it, he said to read the book first. I'm grateful for his introduction and now see why he said to read the book first. He helped to explain the profound feelings DOGSBODY leaves you with, feelings that will linger on and on.

This was such a fun read with such a good ending. Do you ever have the moment where the end of a book makes you feel emotional but you can't quite pinpoint why?
Definitely having that moment right now.
