Roll Over and Play Dead

I always enjoy a Joan Hess book and this one is highly entertaining. She is able to tackle serious issues in an amusing way which brings the subject up in one's mind, but with a very large dose of entertaining mystery and lots of laughs. This is very good light reading with refreshing humor that makes you laugh out loud. She is one of my favorite authors.

Roll Over & Play Dead reveals Hess as her usual entertaining, witty self, but this time it's with a twist: she takes on the controversial issue of animal testing. Most of the general public really doesn't know (and may not want to know) what goes on in the world of animal testing. I do know; I've been in some animal testing labs. The world of animal testing is much uglier & more unconscionable than animal research scientists would have you believe. Hess always writes a good story, and this time she includes a worthy cause that definitely needs more press. I'm impressed that she tackled the issue!
