Excellent!

In my opinion, Black Ribbon was a very good book, definitely among my favorites. My favorite part about the book was that it was about dogs and dog sports. I also liked that it pulled you in and was a quick read. Most of the time it was pretty easy to follow. Also, it was suspenseful, and you could never be sure of who was guilty of what until the end. Even then, you never suspected who was the guiltiest, and it was hard to believe when you found out. Plus, all the characters were realistic and believable. Though it was a great book, there were a few things that I did not really like about it. There were quite a few characters so it could sometimes get confusing as to who was who; also, sometimes the dogs and their names made it a little more confusing. At the beginnings of the chapters it usually jumped around, talking about things that seemed totally unrelated to what was talked about at the end of the previous chapter, and talked about them in a confusing manor. The book did talk about dogs and it was obvious the author knew what she was talking about, but it was a little disappointing sometimes when you wanted to know more about something but the author didn't elaborate much. But overall, I would definitely call this an excellent book.

Keep on writing Ms. Conant!

Ms. Conant is really doing well on her writing. this has to be my #1 favorite Conant book along with her 1st, A new leash on death. it is well written and has a good topic. the part where Rowdy saved Holly was 1 of my favorite parts.i dont see why anyone wouldn't like it.
