A dog and his ‘Master’ witness two centuries of turmoil and wonders as guests in the royal houses of Europe. Meanwhile, they run from madness and obsession in the form of the Master’s archnemesis, a man as charmingly dazzling as he is volatile. Both, dog and ‘Master’, leave the lavish comforts of palaces to experience the horrors of war in an effort to atone for past mistakes.

I liked Tomorrow very much, but with caveats. It almost made me cry twice, towards the end, which is when I felt the book got better—in character development and the revealing of secrets/mysteries—, which is a long time for a novel to finally find its footing. I liked the big reveals and some of the adventures—some of them weren't as fabulous as the narrator wanted us to believe. I feel that I didn't get much of a feel for the dog narrator and his ‘Master’, as I did for Sporco (the dog from Venice) and Vilder (the Master's archnemesis), probably because the dog was narrating and his perspective was limited to the conclusions he arrived at after much reflection and observation. Overall, I enjoyed it. I was expecting a grand adventure and got some of that, but I would have liked more historical fiction thrown into the mix. That element was a bit subdued; except the occasional battles (or their bloody aftermath) the 'Champion' and his ‘Master’ witnessed, and save the cursory mention of Renaissance masters and political figures of the centuries the characters lived in, there was not an actual ‘feel’ of those tumultuous (at times) or wonderful centuries. After some of the horrors of war—it does get graphic at times, particularly during Waterloo—, I was happy that the novel ended on a hopeful note.

Disclaimer: I received from the publisher a free e-galley of this book via Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

Unique perspective. So many books on immortals, only one I've encountered about not only immortal humans, but also a dog. The story is told from the dog, Tomorrows POV. The book drifts between centuries, as the tale is told, but it works. Tomorrow is trying to find his master. Along the way he is witness to many changes in society and across countries. He experiences wars, empires, even love, as he searches over the centuries. Must read for dog lovers! Wonderful story.

Champion is an immortal dog, and that premise made me intrigued. It was fun to see history through a dog's eyes, and I was quite entertained. The pacing was uneven, and at times the battle scenes became a little too detailed for my taste, but the canine human connection/bond is exquisitely explored by Damian Dibben, and I would read more from him, perhaps a sequel?

Such an interesting story! I love the story this book tells of a immortal dog's perspective throughout history. Such a unique story and one that I've never heard told before!

I have to admit that I was a little disappointed by this book. I went into this book with incredibly high expectations so some of that disappointment is of my own making. When I first saw this book's cover, I knew that I had to read it. Then I read the book's synopsis and knew that I would love it. I ended up liking the book but I didn't love it.

This is Champion's story and is told from his point of view. Champion is not just an any dog. He is immortal and has lived for 217 years. Champion was separated from his master in Venice over 100 years ago and has spent that time waiting for him as he was told to do. He has made connections with others and even rescued another dog, Sporco, but he never stops looking for his master.

The timeline of this story does jump around a bit. We see Champion after waiting for more than 100 years for his master before going to search for him and we also see different points in the past before they lost each other. I never found the time sequence to be confusing. It really seemed like the points in the past were important to the story and felt more like memories. I really liked the historical setting of the novel which spans from the 1600's into the 1800's which I thought added a lot to the story.

I really enjoyed Champion's journey to find his master more than any other part of the book. Sporco was my favorite character by far and I enjoyed his love of life. I really felt like Sporco felt much more dog-like than Champion did. Champion has lived a very long time and is wiser than most humans. His most dog-like quality would be his loyalty to his master.

The book felt a bit uneven to me with some parts falling flat. I liked the parts of the book that were focused on what the dogs were doing the most. During the last part of the book, the focus seemed to shift more to the humans as witnessed by the dog which wasn't as enjoyable for me. There were times that the book felt like it was longer than it needed to be and dragged at points.

I think that a lot of readers will enjoy this one a bit more than I did. It is a really unique story set in a vividly described period of time. I didn't love the book as much as I had hoped I would but I am glad that I made the decision to read it. I would definitely read more of Damian Dibben's works in the future.

I received an advance reader edition of this book from Harlequin - Hanover Square Press via NetGalley.

What a fascinating book! I could hardly put it down. This is the story of a dog who has lived a century in Europe looking for his master who has given him immortality. I'm a sucker for dog stories and this was a good one.

This dog is more erudite and articulate than most human writers.
I love the character. Insightful, observant, wise, and wonderful.
But... he's a dog.
Grant the writer some willing suspension of disbelief, or you'll miss out on a great story.
This one opens with a dog awaiting the return of his beloved Master - for almost two centuries! - thanks to an elixer that allows a man and his dog to live crazy-long lives.
The dog narrates tales of their time on a battlefield, tending to the wounded.
He's there in 1815 when Napolean meets Waterloo.
Betrayals, insanely wrong imprisonments, adventures, mishaps, reunions - this is a long story, beautifully told.
My willing suspension of disbelief, however, kept kicking in. I was barely able to stay in the story. I read to escape, and sometimes, I just don't have the wherewithal to work at reading.
I'm spoiled by Jack London, who kept his dog adventures on the shorter side.
Also, London's dogs didn't sound like they had a PhD in literature or philosophy.
Still!
This is a most endearing story, with memorable scenes and characters, and heartbreak, as our immortal dog outlives his canine companions.
Be strong.

Tomorrow is a story of a 217 year old dog looking for his long lost master. Heartwarming, heartbreaking and such a great read - this dog experiences all the emotions & adventures of a human. Kudos!

One look at the cover of this book and I knew I had to read it. A dog’s love is perhaps the most pure and faithful love on earth. In this book a dog over 200 years old searches for his lost owner, through kingdoms far and wide, kingdoms that rise and fall, and through it all his goal is simple, to find his person. Along his journey he meets and befriends other people and animals, learns to love music and despair at the terrible waste of war. This book made me cry, laugh and revel in the beauty of that most faithful of all beings, a dog
