Review # 1 was written on 2018-01-19 00:00:00 Doug Canant An homage to border collie mixes. And fun. But also very reflective of the issue presented in Men Explain Things to Me*... Sadie needs *more* smarts & strength just to stand up for herself against Angus' patronizing. I did like this observation, even though it's inserted somewhat randomly as the dogs aren't generally presented as so very philosophical: "I don't understand weird, Sadie said. "It's what's not normal, Angus explained. It's what's different from me." I will look for more in the series, and I might even go back and try some of Voigt's famous old 'problem novels.' *Disclosure: I've not read the essay yet, and I expect I'll criticize it, but the meme does refer to an issue that is valid to a lot of people's experiences.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-03-09 00:00:00 Kyle Fukumoto This is young and optimistic and charming, and every so often you see these flashes of insight Voigt can't quite make vanish, even when writing in this simplified perspective: Then Missus bent down to pick up some Snowing, but instead of throwing it to Angus, she threw it at Mister. "You fetch," she said. "Hey!" he said, and threw some right back at her. "Hey, yourself!" She laughed. "You shouldn't tease Angus that way. Or any way. Or any dog." "Okay," Mister said. "You're right. Angus, come! I want to show you something." Angus came, and Mister gave him the Snowing instead of letting him fetch it, and that wasn't nearly as much fun... It's just water, he told Sadie. No, it's Snowing, she told him. Try eating it, he advised her. So she did. What happened to the Snowing? It's water! she said. I shouldn't tease you that way, Angus said.It's weird to call a deliberately simple book narrated by two dogs elegant, but this IS. And funny! And the last sentence is really beautiful, and such a perfect ending.
