Copy received from Giveaway.

This is quite an interesting read for me as a reader who has close to no knowledge of Tourette’s and I think this is a great book for looking into the mind to see what's it like to have Tourette’s. Although I'm pretty sure everyone has different experiences with it, I think this book is a good starting point for young and old readers alike. (But not too young obviously~)

While I find it a bit hard to believe that someone as young as Dylan Mint already has a whole dictionary of 'bad' words in his arsenal to use and seems somewhat comfortable with his sexuality, but I guess maybe I'm the one that is out of touch with what the current generation that this book is mainly aimed at is up to these days. I am also not so fond of the seemingly useless phone conversation that takes up an entire page, I just pity the wasted space.

That aside, I applaud the author for trying to teach kids about safe sex, accepting people from different background, accepting that there are all sorts of different disabilities and all that jazz~ Kudos to you!

Hace un tiempo les dije que quería leer este libro por la curiosidad que sentía por como el autor traería un personaje con síndrome de Tourette, solo que jamás imaginé que el libro fuera a gustarme tanto. Al leerlo me trajo el recuerdo de otro libro al cual le tengo bastante cariño "The Perks of Being Wallflower", los libros son muy diferentes, pero la sensación entrañable de los personajes, la inocencia, fue un completo dejavú.

When Mr. Dog Bites es adorable, ver la vida a través de Dylan Mint es una de esas cosas que siempre voy a agradecer a los libros, la posibilidad de prestarme inocencia y diversión a pesar de las cosas que puedan pasar. Como dice la sinopsis, Dylan escucha la noticia que va a morir, y su lista ‘Cool Things To Do Before I Cack It’ (en español literal sería algo así como "Diez cosas geniales para hacer antes que la mierdee") es una de las cosas más geniales de la vida, es un adolescente, obviamente tenía que pedir ciertas cosas, pero él no es egoísta, también debe conseguirle otro best buddy para su mejor amigo. Tengo unas ganas enormes de resumir el libro ahora mismo, que no tienen idea. Sobre todo por la forma divertida en la que el autor ciertos temas como el racismo y la homofobia a través del libro.

Brian Conoghan no exagera con el síndrome de Tourette pero tampoco se olvida de él, nos da una dosis perfecta. El libro está lleno de personas entrañables, y sobre todo la amistad de Dylan y Amir es algo que no voy a olvidar. No sé si estoy siendo muy parcial pero no logro encontrarle un pero, quizá solo una especie de advertencia, sino me equivoco, está escrito con el inglés irlandés, o sea que si estás empezando recién a leer en inglés algunas frases puedan ser un poco confusas, digo que no estoy segura porque me acostumbré rápido, así que ¡léanlo!

I listened to this as an audio book and felt that the narrator could have done with a younger voice.
The story was fine amusing in parts ( )

This novel tells the story of teenager and Tourettte's sufferer Dylan Mint. From a first person perspective, it takes a look at how living with Tourette's might actually be like, from the physical and mental pain to the stigma and bullying, all done with a child-like, innocent humour wrapped up in the character of Dylan Mint, a sixteen year old, teenage boy. Dylan is an immature character for his age and speaks mostly in slang or rhyming language and has word-associations; it is not clear how much of this is because of Tourette's or just because of his immaturity and of being a teenager. Either way, Dylan captures your heart further and further into the novel, makes you laugh out loud and at times, nearly want to cry!

This novel covers other themes such as racism, domestic-violence and love all though the trials and tribulations of Dylan Mint. This is a marvellous, perfectly believable story, which does make an impact on the issue of Tourette's. I would definitely recommend this to young adults and adults alike. ( )

2.5 stars. The book has a lot of great moments, but the homophobia is just too much. ( )
