5.0

An extremely beautifully written book that looks into the human condition. I can’t say I agree with the conclusions drawn by the novel, but it was really lovely. The last chapter in particular really touched my heart. I was really astounded by the creativity and imaginative thought that came with the more abstract concepts and ideas in this novel. Fifteen Dogs was uncomfortable and compelling. I couldn’t put it down.
