 The Art of Racing in the Rain November 20, 2008
I loved this book!!! A unique perspective on life from a canine point of view, which I found myself ageeing with more often than not. On my list of all time favorites and highly recommended to dog lovers everywhere.
The Art of Racing in the Rain November 18, 2008
I found this story one of the most charming I've read in a long time. I am the volunteer coordinator at an animal shelter, a dog show judge, and a dog breeder, and I am not normally enamored with a story written by the dog, but this one is the exception. If you have watched a beloved pet grow older and infirmed you will understand this character, the dog named Enzo. If you are a dog lover, a person whose dog is a member of the family, you will enjoy this book. If you are not a dog lover then it is clearly not a book for you. I am buying a copy of this book for each of my volunteers as a holiday gift.

A GREAT BOOK AND A WONDERFUL READ. THIS IS FUN LIKE A MERRY GO ROUND.
 Enzo's telling of the story bothered, rather than endeared me. November 17, 2008

The story is touching, minus the car-racing, but I must have been moved by the picture of the dog on the cover and forgotten how much I dislike anthropomorphizing when I chose this book at the library. I love animals, respect animals, which is why I don't think it's cute or endearing to read about, or watch movies, other than animated, where animals speak as though they were human. That's just my opinion, which is why the book didn't speak to me. Having the dog tell the story threw me off balance...it didn't feel right, as beloved as the dog was.
