But the Shoutin
Sonny Brewer is a natural-born storyteller, and Cormac is one hell
of a great story about dog s best friend; about loss and redemption
and need; and about the ineffable connection we have with what may
be the biggest hearted animal on the planet. If you re a dog lover,
then Cormac is a must-read. If you re not a dog-lover and don t
understand the utter sense of hopelessness that Brewer endured, and
the powerfully cathartic ending, then go get yourself spayed or
neutered, please.
George Singleton, author of Work Shirts for Madmen
Brewer takes this simple little tale of a dog lost and found and
turns it into a little parable of family and friendship, small-town
life, dogs as writers best friends, and yes, life s proper
priorities. "
" "Times-Picayune "
an engaging tale of Brewer s golden retriever, which disappeared
from Fairhope and ultimately turned up at a rescue home in Danbury,
Conn But what Brewer s really writing about are the people he meets
along the way, and the story becomes a poignant look at the
goodness and sometimes appalling callousness of human nature.
"Nashville Scene"
a page-turning tale of a man and his canine best friend Cormac will
stir pet owners recollections of their own relationships with their
pets, present and past. "
" "Anniston Star"
Sonny Brewer's Cormac is a happy, good-natured Golden Retriever of
a book. Even if you're not a dog person (as I'm not), you'll love
this writing for its clear prose, precise detail, and careful
insight into both the human and canine worlds. Brewer's main
strength, though, is finding the common ground between these
worlds, those instances when human and dog converge, where dogs
smile and men bark. This book makes me want a Golden Retriever
myself.
