Really enjoyable blend of fact and fiction. A made up biography of the first dog in space from her humble origins, the preparatory training and finally the flight itself. A bit sentimental at times (that said it is about Russians, a nation comfortable with sentimentality in all of it's forms, and a little dog!) it keeps the story moving at a great pace. Would suit animal lovers and the most geeked out of comic fans. Highly recommended.

Just to let you know, you don't need to loan me this book; I've bought a copy for my brother for Christmas and I'll read it before I give it to him.
so - any plans to update your blog?
