Description

Sirius is Thomas Trelone's great experiment - a huge, handsome dog with the brain and intelligence of a human being. Raised and educated in Trelone's own family alongside Plaxy, his youngest daughter, Sirius is a truly remarkable and gifted creature. His relationship with the Trelones, particularly with Plaxy, is deep and close, and his inquiring mind ranges across the spectrum of human knowledge and experience. But Sirius isn't human and the conflicts and inner turmoil that torture him cannot be resolved.

While this is deeply emotional, it feels also detached because of the way it is written. It reads like a biography, while also having similarities to saga novels, coming of age and it is also so much about the meaning of life. The conflict of Sirius is relatable and his relationship to his "sister" Plaxy compelling. It tackles science, religion, occupations and relationships, so everything that can be meaningful in life, and shows it from this relatable but also foreign perspective. It had kind of a "frankensteins monster" vibe, even though Sirius had a much better life. It could have been much more touching if the writing wasn't so dry. Still, this is a good recommendation to get into Sci-Fi if you haven't read any before but also offers a lot of new and meaningful things to established sf readers.
