Editorial Review:
Enzo knows he is different from other dogs: a philosopher with a nearly human soul (and an obsession with opposable thumbs), he has educated himself by watching television extensively, and by listening very closely to the words of his master, Denny Swift, an up-and-coming race car driver. Through Denny, Enzo has gained tremendous insight into the human condition, and he sees that life, like racing, isn't simply about going fast. Using the techniques needed on the race track, one can successfully navigate all of life's ordeals. On the eve of his death, Enzo takes stock of his life, recalling all that he and his family have been through: the sacrifices Denny has made to succeed professionally; the unexpected loss of Eve, Denny's wife; the three-year battle over their daughter, Zoë, whose maternal grandparents pulled every string to gain custody. In the end, despite what he sees as his own limitations, Enzo comes through heroically to preserve the Swift family, holding in his heart the dream that Denny will become a racing champion with Zoë at his side. Having learned what it takes to be a compassionate and successful person, the wise canine can barely wait until his next lifetime, when he is sure he will return as a man. A heart-wrenching but deeply funny and ultimately uplifting story of family, love, loyalty, and hope, The Art of Racing in the Rain is a beautifully crafted and captivating look at the wonders and absurdities of human life . . . as only a dog could tell it.

Summary: You gotta Love Enzo!!! Comment: This is one of the best books I have ever read. I passed mine on to 5 different people who all fell in love with Enzo the Dog in the book. You will laugh and you will cry but one thing is for sure....you will never look at your dog the same way again!!!! Customer Rating: Summary: One of the best books I have ever read! Comment: I could not put this book down! It captures you from the very first chapter and doesn't let go! The book is written so well that I started to look at my own dog in a different way. It makes you wonder just how much our dogs can understand us. This is an amazing book that any dog lover will enjoy. Customer Rating: Summary: Beautiful, sad, poignant, a bit unbelievable Comment: The Art of Racing in the Rain is the purported tale of a dog watching his master Denny grow up. Denny marries Eve and they eventually have Zoe. The dog watches this, sad that he cannot communicate his love, trust, and observations of life to those around him. A malformed mouth and lack of opposable thumbs doom him, he supposes. His master is a racecar driver (among other talents), and the dog and master love watching racing movies together. Trust, abandonment, renewal, redemption - life is all about that. It's like racing in the rain - exhilarating, but be careful of the slick curves you encounter. Customer Rating: Summary: A fun, engaging novel Comment: I'm a dog lover who is almost always disappointed in "dog books," but all the 5 star ratings got me to give this novel a shot. It did not disappoint. The story of Denny, a struggling race car driver and his wife and young daughter is one that drew me in even without the dog element. That this was comically and touchingly narrated by Enzo, their dog, made this an even better and more original book. This novel does not strive to capture how dogs really see their world (as happens in Edgar Sawtelle), but this is how dog owners like to think of their dogs as perceiving their world. The narration is done with just the right amount of heart and humor. This novel takes a major turn halfway through, suddenly becoming plot driven. At first I was bothered by this, but it ultimately worked and added to the story. Overall, this is a sweet, funny novel. It's not great literature, but I really enjoyed this novel and was sad when it was done. Customer Rating: Summary: The Art Of Racing In The Rain Comment: If you liked "Old Yeller" you will love this heart warming story of a Dog and his Master, as only the Dog could tell it. I finished this book in 2 days !! a good book you will refuse to put down. I laughed and than I cried, with a very lovable ending you will not forget soon I highly recommend this book for everyone Ronnie Stewart Holland Texas
