Book: Sight Hound by Pam Houston

I love Pam Houston but this just isn't a novel, it's not got the strength of plot. The perspective (every chapter written by a different character, recurring throughout) is really interesting but by its nature is jumpy. If it were 20-30 pages in the chapter so you really got your teeth into that person's (or dog's, or cat's) perspective it would be a better book, than executed in these brief hops. There is so much depth of love, grief and hope in this book, it would be better if it were not in those snips that only seem to give promise of what is beneath. It felt light and unfinished for such deeply touching heart matter. And yet there are those Houston incredible turns of phrase that make one's heart soar, just from what she does with the sheer words.
