Everyone's Book Log for this book
-
Loved this. In a world of suffering and cruelty, I like the idea that pure intentions and honesty can sometimes win the day. I am not a car racing fan but I liked how the narrator drew parallels between his owner's approach toward life and his profession of racing. Manifest your destiny...that's a concept I'm still chewing on!

One of the best books i've ever read! Jul 29, 2010
I read this book a while ago, and I was intrigued about the dog being the narrator of the book. I don't think anything could make this book any better than it is. Enzo makes you wonder what goes through your own dogs mind. This book is laugh out loud funny, while being compassionate and real. Possibly one of the best books I've ever read. A fantastic piece of literature, to say the least!
Poignant Jul 28, 2010
This book is so poignant, and one that has influenced how I perceive both dogs and the world. The ending is incredibly beautiful...strongly recommend!
Moving and very enjoyable Jul 28, 2010
What a well written great book. Happy and sad ....keep a box of tissues close at hand!
Wonderful story Jul 26, 2010
This book is wonderful. I have no interest in racing and don't even have a dog but this book was incredible.
Wisdom for life from a dog Jul 26, 2010
A bit zen-like, this is a book about how to conduct your life, as told by a creature who loves to observe humanity. And besides, who wouldn't love a dog who admired Aryton Senna's driving ability?
You don't have to love cars, racing, or dogs to love this book. Loving all three will enhance your enjoyment of "The Art of Racing in the Rain".
