I think anyone who is a pet owner has carried on one-sided conversations with their pet; it's amusing, in this book, to be able to hear what the full conversation would sound like.  |
Up to the point that I got to, his relationship with Oberon did not feel all that endearing to me. I don't think there was enough depth to the relationship for me to make me like the dog or the main character.

Yeah, I didn't find the book all that funny.

I am not Christian, although I'm sure some Christian morals make up part of my moral code just from growing up in American society. I'd have to reread the book to pinpoint exactly what I didn't like about him, but one thing I didn't care for was him having sex with the goddess who tried to trick/kill/something? him. It's a little thing that did not prevent me from continuing and at the time I didn't analyze it, but added to the other things that I didn't like about the main character and the fact that I had other books I wanted to read, I stopped reading that book.
