Simple unassuming story

I found the story to be simple and straightforward. The narrator was good.
I really love stories where I fall in love with the characters and in this story I missed that. I found the Duke to be weak in character and lacking in courage. The female character had good moments. Overall, the story was passable but not memorable and the grand gesture at the end fell flat.

Not bad

Took me a minute to get into the story but not a bad read otherwise.

Loved Henry

I loved this story, However Henry was my favorite character. That lovable hound was loyal.

A Must Read!

I loved the story and the characters especially Henry, the Collie. The characters were multi faceted and interesting.

Beauty in eye of the beholder

Wallflowers can be strong! there is someone for everyone. Just open your minds eye and look past superficial.
