Summary: Best use - lining the litter box
Review: This has to be the worst book I've read in the past ten years. Maybe the author was trying to mimic Lundlum's "The Road to Gandolfo", but after 100 pages, I was ready to kick myself for wasting my time reading such drivel.If only the pages were larger, I'd use it to line my cat's litter box.

Summary: NEVER AGAIN
Review: I don't think I will ever again buy a book by simply trusting
the good reputation of a writer I have grown to admire,
I drudged through the first 100 pages and it is like 4
different story lines at once and none of them go any where
Andy Brazil an Chief Hammer are wasted in this one

Summary: don't waste your money
Review: I kept waiting for it to get better even after the first
100 pages well needless to say I am still waiting!
I really liked the Kay Scarpetta series and I always enjoy
a good story line but this reminds me of a James Patterson
book that was way out there also

Summary: A sad attempt at humor.
Review: It is clearly an attempt at humor, a very unsuccessful one. It becomes apparent that P Cornwell is as bored with Kay Scarpetta as some of her readers have become. It's almost as though P.C. approached a 6th grade class of wannabee writers and gave them the assignment of creating characters from the Virginia Hills, a dumb blonde, an atypical psychopath, and dumb politicos; then asked the class to give the characters suitable names and develop some laughable personalities. P.C. then took these assignments and tossed into a word blender along with a not very well defined plot, some black humor, tossed it around a little, coming out with this blend that apparently leaves most readers retching, with the exception of some lawyers desperate for humor who cannot spell (forte). At about page 59 I left the book on the train, later feeling bad that I may have subjected another passenger to suffer through the book. Perhaps that reader will be smarter and toss the book before getting to page 3.

Summary: One Star too many!
Review: I'm sorry, Ms. Cornwell. Up until now the only book that I had refused to finish was "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich." Now there is one more - "Isle of Dogs." I would recommend this book only to fans of the Three Stooges. After forcing myself to read half of the book, the first fifty pages with an open mind, I gave up the effort and moved on to something more interesting. The comedy seemed to be forced and the continuing characters of Brazil and Judy seemed lost in a maze of insipid characters with stupid names located on a fantasy island of bad dreams. Give the readers back what you do best, Ms. Cornwell, a well-written novel that makes sense while it entertains.

Summary: A DOG - FOR CERTAIN!
Review: I have for many years enjoyed Patricia Cornwell's work, this book, however, is a real disappointment. Stick to the formula that works! Kay Scarpetta is a believable character. None of the characters in Isle of Dog's are the least bit interesting or believable. The entire premise is ridiculous, disjointed and not fitting in an otherwise enjoyable body of work. Better luck on the next novel.

Summary: Great fun
Review: ... When I got this home and saw that Isle of Dogs was compared to Southern Cross I was prepared not to like it. It took me a bit to get started on it and then, WOW.
The book is such a spoof! It had me practically rolling on the floor laughing. I loved it. Nice comback Ms. Cornwell.

Summary: A Dog of a Book
Review: Patricia Cornwell's latest book in the Andy Brazil series is a real dog. The characters are unbelievable, the plot is weak, and there is no real climax. This is a sad departure from her normal writing style.

Summary: Hilarious!!!!
Review: I thought that the book was hilarious!!!! It is definitely not the typical Patricia Cornwell that we are all accustomed to. I think it would make a great spoof movie!!!
