If you have yet to read this wonderful novel, do yourself a favor and do so. It's original and captivating, and I simply adored Enzo (the narrator ... who also happens to be a dog). It tells the story of a particular family, with twists and turns that keep the pages turning. It's a perfect read for a rainy afternoon or while laying in bed, the kind of novel that you'll remember long after you've finished.
I'm shocked...shocked, by how much I loved this book.The narrator is a dog.There is much mentioning of racing - Formula One, NASCAR, Indy....and the narrator is a dog. But I think I mentioned that already.I liked this book so much that it made me want a dog. No, it made me want this dog. And I don't even like dogs.Enzo, a terrier/lab mutt, believes in his next life he will be human. As he feels practically human already, just limited to grand gestures due to his loose-muscled tongue and lack of
11/2020: This review has been deleted, inline with the idea of "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."I did not like the book. It was clearly not the book for me!
Yeehaw!.....a Zebra is dancing? .....Car racing? .... in the RAIN?.......What’s going on? And you thought this was a DOG story? Don’t let those other 8,249 Amazon reviews fool ya. Just because you see a Golden Retriever on the cover of Garth Stein’s novel.....this novel isn’t a doggy dog story at all. I don’t care if you own a dog or not - own cats or birds or nothin- this book is more HUMAN than HUMAN!!! ENZO is showing us the BEST QUALITIES of HUMANITY.I may be late to the party in reading thi...
I read this when it first came out, and then again around five years ago, but with the release of the movie I knew I wanted to spend a few hours with Enzo once again. For those of you who have never read this or read about it – Enzo is a dog, albeit with the soul of a human. ” In Mongolia, when a dog dies, he is buried high in the hills so people cannot walk on his grave. The dog’s master whispers into the dog’s ear his wishes that the dog will return as a man in his next life. Then his tail
2021, I love you already for starting a new year with a book like this.1st January, 2021:I didn't know what to expect when I picked up this book today. This is the second time I picked it up. I picked it up last year, went into a few pages and I realised I wasn't ready for the story. I did not want to ruin the reading experience, so I put it down. So glad I did (trust your reader instincts always!).The first page. It made me cry. I continued crying until the next few chapters, I got used to the
Adorable. Narrated from first-canine-point-of-view. 🐶Named after Enzo Anselmo Giuseppe Maria Ferrari, the founder of the legendary racing team and automobile brand, Enzo (the canine) is a very wise and loyal soul. He's constantly explaining his thought processes about... well, everything.The way Enzo views the world, sees humans, and interprets everyday events is quite comical. I kept thinking, “Yep. That's exactly what I would think too.... you know.... if I was a dog.” I laughed right out
THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN by GARTH STEIN is an inspirational, wonderful, and sad story that had me feeling so many different emotions while listening to this book. Laughter...happiness...sadness....anger...and even a few tears. I had chills and goosebumps! That is good writing to make me feel so many different emotions while reading/listening to a book.It was such a touching and uplifting story about the life of Enzo the dog, which was told from his own perspective. I found this story to be
"There is no dishonor in losing the race ... there is only dishonor in not racing because you are afraid to lose.""We are the creators of our own destiny."The Art of Racing in the Rain is a novel by Garth Stein from 2008, about an aspiring racing driver, his dreams and his life struggles. The novel would be a fairly ordinary contemporary tale, except that it is written from the point of view of the main character's dog, a labrador retriever, terrier cross called Enzo. The dog was named after Enz...
