I liked this book for the most part -- but there was one part that really bugged me: the way that Russell repeatedly got his dog drunk. I know Russell's supposed to be different and quirky and lovably flawed and all that. But that's not quirky. That's abusive. And I don't think the book showed that clearly enough.

Just had to get that off my chest! It was a shame, because the book was good apart from that.
