The Man with the Butterfly Mind door Fabian Foley
Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.Quite a journey and a nice plot twist...enjoyed reading this.
Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.Surprisingly enjoyable and different. It helps if you love animals especially dogs, which I do, although I'm not usually fond of talking animals or animal narrators. This one however integrated the stories of several people including the dog pretty seamlessly. I especially like the places where I thought I saw what was coming and then it turned out to be something different.

”Whoever lived there didn’t leave. They just never came home”
What happened to Ash, Bimba’s owner? That’s the big question in The Man with the Butterfly Mind. House cleaner, Meko, enters a home and finds a little, golden dog close to death. Meko befriends the vet who cares for Bimba, who is determined to find out who abandoned her and bring the person to justice. In a parallel storyline JD (John Doe) is navigating the world with amnesia. The two storylines eventually converge in this entertaining read.
I enjoyed the story itself. It was compelling enough that it kept me wanting to know more. By about 50 pages in I was invested in the story and needed to know how it ended. The theme of loss runs throughout, in both obvious and subtle ways. I loved JD's character development.He was such a jerk in the beginning. The accident was probably the best thing that could ever have happened to him.
The story is partly told in first person by Bimba herself. These weren’t my favorite chapters due to the stilted language. I get why he did it that way (English isn’t a dog’s first language), and Bimba’s POV was important to the story so it had to be included, I just didn’t really care for that.
The author had a habit of having the characters bring up things in conversation that hadn’t been introduced in the story yet. The first time this happened I spend way too much time looking back in the book to find what I assumed I’d missed. I eventually realized this was just a convention the author was using for some reason but I wasn’t a fan.
Overall, I liked this book and would probably recommend it.
Thanks to LibraryThing for the free book to review.… (meer)

Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.This story will not disappoint you if you are an animal lover. Where is Ash is the question I asked myself over and over as I became more and more invested in this book. Bimba is a wonderful character to follow, along with many others along the way. I recommend this story to anyone from young adults to any adults searching for their next find.
