Acerca de esta escucha
The Hunters - Adam, Kate, and their children Hal and Charlotte - are a typical family, with typical concerns: work, money, love, the trials of adolescence. What sets them apart is Prince, their black Labrador.
Prince is an earnest and determined young dog. He strives to live up to the tenets of the Labrador Pact: Duty Over All. Other dogs, led by the springer spaniels, have revolted, but Prince takes his responsibilities seriously. As things in the Hunter family begin to go awry - marital breakdown, rowdy teenage parties, attempted suicide - he uses every canine resource to keep the clan together. In the end, Prince must choose: the family or the Pact? His decision may cost him everything.
Wry, perceptive, and heartbreaking, The Labrador Pactis a cunning and original take on domestic life, with an improbably poignant narrator.

Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life. While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better? In The Midnight Library, Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision.

After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

Finding your place when you’re so lost

Euthanizing good old prince was not the right ending . I have been through the dog-bite euthanasia dance and I doubt the dog would have been put fown had it been a family member bitten, The book needs the dog’s man friend to go look up municipal codes snd go through a hearing, or at least have a fence sunk in the yard fitsas required in my town.
Spoiler alert! All reviews bad ending

It's really rather dark, unfortunate and I didn't care for the direction the story took nor the ending.

Haig attempts to give us a surprise ending by having it be the family who chooses to kill the dog, what he doesn’t realize is that he destroyed any believability the book had until that point by making that choice. Why not have the dog die at the hands of the evil next-door neighbor? Because that would have been too predictable. Nothing about this ridiculous ending made any sense to me whatsoever. The dog was a part of the family, We don’t go around randomly killing family members because they misbehave. If that were the case, that entire family would have been euthanized.
Stupidest ending EVER!!

Let me be very clear--the faults I find in this book have nothing what so ever to do with the narrator--I suspect that my inclination to his work carried me through a book that is, in the end, an annoying little play on the English version of the cheap Long Island summer melodrama. Spoiler--the most interesting thing about is that the dog is the murderer, but the dog is essentially the butler, so the butler did it. Honestly, it was sort of annoying.
So that's my review--Simon Jones narration great; book--almost hopelessly dull unless you are fascinated by the inanity of the Hamptoms.
Having said that, I'll keep searching Simon Jones, I enjoy him immensely.
Love Simon Jones, the book--not so much.
