Rescue Ink: How Ten Guys Saved Countless Dogs and Cats, Twelve Horses, Five Pigs, One Duck, and a Few Turtles by Rescue Ink
3.0
What I Didn’t Like:
-Difficult subject matter. Honestly, you’re dealing with stories about animals who were abused or neglected. Happy endings or not, that’s not always easy to hear about.
-Random jumps. The story jumps from one person to another or one case to another rather quickly. While this is pretty typical of some memoirs, it’s jarring.
-No sense of resolution. Which, of course, led me to look up what happened with Rescue Ink and find that they’re no longer a practicing rescue organization. So not only is it no real sense of resolution … it’s literally none!
What I Did Like:
-Adorable pictures and great stories of animals getting second chances for good, happy homes.
-Undercurrent theme that anyone can make a difference, which is a great theme! Loved how that was explored.
-Pictures in the middle of the book, which I don’t always love, were great! I love animals and this was a fun way to see if how you pictured the little guys was accurate.
The Verdict: 3 stars. This one is pretty niche. If you can’t handle animal stories or have no interest in Rescue Ink you simply won’t like this story. If, however, this sounds like something you might like, the book is well written!
