 The Art Of Racing In The Rain November 28, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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

 Thought provoking November 28, 2008
The author's choice of making the dog the narrator was refreshing. It takes a bit of an adjustment at the beginning of the book, but once you get into it you can identify with the dog. The dog is loyal, fair, a concrete thinker, and has wisdom to share without the ability of the spoken word.
The book was difficult to put down. It merges a dog, family, and racing.
The dog's intellect and primitive instincts were thought provoking.
Definitely a book to read for the story line and to do some reflective thinking. Would be a great book reading group choice.
A very good read! November 26, 2008

I was in SEATAC one evening waiting on my redeye flight when I saw this book. I am a really big pet lover and a racer so I felt like this book was written for me.
This isn't a reinvention of fiction as some of the reviews may have you believe but it is a fantastic story. I usually only read funny books as I am kind of a softie and don't like sad or dramatic books, but I had to read this one. It is a quick read (I read it in 3 hours and I am a SLOW reader) but I really enjoyed it, it has a great balance and the discussion of Enzo's tv fascination and encyclopedic knowledge of actors is wonderful.
I gave this to my girlfriend to read who is not a racer and even she absolutely loved it.
One of the Best Ever! November 25, 2008

I loved this book. I also cried through the world book. It was a wonderful journey through life and death as seen through the honest eyes of a dog.
Inspiring, honest, and perfectly written!
