"As a novel about the consequences of addiction--particularly heroin addiction--'Even the Dogs' is harrowing. It details the physical, psychological, social and environmental damage, and portrays the all-consuming nature of the life...Using ghosts as narrators gives the book a haunting overtone. It lends resonance even to a simple observation like 'We see things differently now.' And it lets McGregor write with a gritty omniscience." —New York Times Book Review
“Ambitious, haunting… thought-provoking.”—Boston Globe
“A rare combination of profound empathy and wonderful writing.”—Mark Haddon, author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
“Those who enjoyed Hubert Selby Jr.'s "Requiem for a Dream" will value the style and the subject matter.”—Library Journal
“McGregor succeeds in paying homage to the dispossessed and the hopeless, who live and die on the margins of society.”—Booklist
“McGregor puts the reader into the minds of this interconnected web of people bent on various journeys of self-destruction. He constructs a powerful, disjointed narrative about dependency that is nearly impossible to put down, though it’s not easy reading.” —PopMatters
