Beautiful Joe (Webster's English Thesaurus Edition) Review
I really didn't know what to expect with this book. It was
originally written for children but I doubt if today's kids
could take it. But then, what do I know? I don't have children,
just a dog of my own.
Although the book was published more than a century ago,
sadly the story of animal abuse has continued.
On a lighter note, Joe the rescued dog narrates the entire
book with a great sense of humor. He cleverly introduces his
ethics,his opinions, and the importance of loyalty. I'd say
that's greater than great for any canine or those of two legged variety.
Beautiful Joe is a true classic, a delicious slice of history
that I would heartily recommend.

Customer Reviews
Love it and I haven't even finished reading yet! - jlambert -
I purchased "Beautiful Joe" during a search for low cost kindle editions. I am a huge animal lover, dogs especially and I find myself relating so much to Miss Laura who has such a tender heart to all creatures. I never heard of this book as a child, but what a wonderful story. I am trying to savor the last parts of the book I have to read because I do not want it to end.
Beautiful story! - Patty Ellsworth - Marlow, OK United States
We got this book for my 13 year old daughter and she read it in two days!! Loved the story! It is really well written and told from Joe's point of view. Teaches you so much about animals!
Lots of typos in this version... - R. A. Olsen - Klamath Falls, OR USA
I ordered this book because it was quite a bit less than the other versions available. I wish I had looked at the preview and read the "disclaimer" on the first page. This is basically an unedited scan of the book, so the text is full of typographical errors (problems with text recognition and punctuation). I have not yet read the entire book, but in looking at the first few pages, I can already tell that it will be irritating to read this version. It will be similar to reading email from people that use no punctuation, capitalization, or spell-checking. I just hope that it does not detract too much from the story, which I am sure is good. If I find that reading this version gets to be too challenging, I will purchase another (regular) copy.
