Summary: Saving Shiloh
Review: I liked the book because it had good dialog, description, and detail. The main characters were the dogs, the dad, and Marty. It was exciting and heart-stopping with vivid detail of Shiloh and the Baker's german shepard. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes dogs.

Summary: Impossible to put this book down.
Review: Looking for a good book for a Christmas present for a child in 4th or 5th grade? This is a wonderful book to cuddle up with this winter. Marty shows love for his dog in many ways. Can't find this book anywhere? You should read Shiloh or Shiloh Season, the two books before this one. I loved reading this book! Here is a great gift for someone this holiday. Katie Brown, age 12

Summary: Shiloh Review and Comments
Review: Looking for a great Book get Saving Shiloh. This book is excellent. I loved the whole story. I think this book should win an award. My favorite part was when Judd Travers came over for Thanksgiving. Phyllis Reynolds Naylor is a great author, (she wrote Saving Shiloh didn't she?). I think Marty is a great character in the book. He was a nice and good kid. It was cool the way he took such responsibility. At the very beginning I thought Judd Travers was trying to be good. Marty's parents think everyone needs a second chance. Everyone else (in town) think just the opposite though. I agree with Marty's parents. Even though Judd was accused of killing the man he had a fight w/ I always thought he didn't do it. Marty wants to believe in Judd too (like his parents). I wondered if Marty's trying to help Judd worth it all? Or is it a waste of time? Shiloh may be scared of Judd still but he could try to warm up to him and forgive(my thoughts when reading the book). This is a great book buy it, read it, or just listen to it (on the audio version).

Summary: A good conclusion to the Marty/Shiloh trilogy!
Review: Marty and his dog Shiloh come full circle in this last of Phyllis Reynolds Naylor's trilogy. Having read each of the books in the series, I must say Shiloh is my favorite, but Shiloh Season and Saving Shiloh are well worth a reader's time! Naylor has a knack for naturally developing her characters. We want to hate Judd Travers from the beginning, but we, like Marty, wonder if there's a chance for Judd to really change. The experiences Marty has dealing with Judd and the anxiety that is described mounts to a dynamic conclusion that is not quite predictable, but desired by eager readers. Each of the Shiloh trilogy books has an easy style of writing, one that gives a realistic glimpse into rural West Virginia. We see and understand the struggles Marty goes through and anticipate a happy ending. Sometimes we are left hanging at the end of the chapter, but Naylor wraps up her Shiloh adventure with a satisfying conclusion.

Summary: Learning to Trust
Review: Marty's beloved beagle is in danger again. Folks in the West Virginia backwoods are mighty suspicious of the resident crank, Judd Travers, the last of a three-generation family known for vicious, anti-social behavior. This shunned man is notorious for his cruelty to his own dogs and his arrogant hostility towards all human kind. Marty's family has tried to win the man's trust by demonstrating basic kindness and offering tentative frienship--social virtues which have never been modeled or extended to him before. But the compasionate boy discovers that it's a steep, uphill battle to convince diehard
neighbors and townspeople that Judd is honestly trying to turn
over a new leaf. Trouble is: Marty himself wavers in his own belief in the man's innocence, when a man goes missing, then turns up dead, during an alarming series of burglaries. The mystery builds as first a blizzard, then a flood, wreak havoc in the hill-country community. Will Shiloh ever be truly safe from Judd? Despite all Marty's efforts to convince the man of his sincerity, Shiloh himself is reluctant to set foot upon the man's hated property. This final part of the SHILOH trilogy takes up one month after the end of SHILOH SEASON. Can dogs--and men--be redeemed after years of negative conditioning? After all poor Shiloh has suffered, whose turn is it to save him this time?

Summary: A Very Loving and Successful Book
Review: Recommendation
I recommend this book to anyone who likes to dive into really good books filled with both love and suspense. I believe that the narrator was trying to show the similarities between the love and suspense when Judd Travers was trying to show the love towards Marty's family by giving them a squirrel, that he hunted down and shot for them. 'Brought you something', Judd says. ''Ma opens a sack that Judd is holding and finds a squirrel that dad says will go nicely with some stew.'' The scene that shows suspense involved the town people trying to get to the top of a mystery. The scene was when David told Marty that the man that's outside at night with the light, always seems to be looking for something. 'Marty, I think the man that's outside with the light, might be looking for a body or something', David said.
