Episode 17: A Dog's Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron

Is it possible? We're not sending a book straight to the dog house? Yes, for the first time ever on Hate Read, we've managed to completely botch the premise of the show and read a book that we don't totally hate! Don't worry, we said totally. There's still plenty to pick apart this episode, as we delve into a book that rivals Cruella de Vil in the "crimes against animals" department. A very special thank you to Ben Cope for our theme song! Check out his YouTube channel: youtube.com/fretwiz. Rather be reading this fortnight: The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell All That Man Is by David Szalay Honorable mention: When the Emperor Was Divine by Julie Otsuka Got any cute puppy pics to cure us of our dead-dog malaise?
