There is No Dog Review by Amelia

There is No Dog is an incredibly funny, poignant and unique story. It tells the story of Bob, a lazy, grumpy and girl-obsessed teenage boy. However Bob is God and is responsible in many ways for the problems of the world.

After Bob falls violently in love with a mortal the world seems set for a disaster. Every has word an effect – Rosoff is very succinct. The result is a funny and vibrant story. The book really reminds me of what I love about reading; the excitement of never knowing what happens on the next page. ‘There is no Dog’ drips with wonder. The book is also painfully sad and moving. Rosoff slowly peels way the layers of the characters exposing complex characters. I would recommend this book to any teenager who will find it relatable and humorous. It doesn’t try and make sense of the world but instead embraces the beautiful and the dysfunctional. A truly different read.
