Summary: Interesting concept
Comments:
A friend who knows how much I love dogs told me about this book. almost all of the book is "narrated" by a dog. I found it to be an interesting concept. It was pretty light reading until about 3/4 of the way through. In all honesty, that part (I skimmed almost all of it) was just too much of an emotional bummer for me to go through. I purchased it up again for the ending, and loved it. I think the author could have entirely skipped that agonizing part and come out with a better read. |

Summary: The Art of Racing in the Rain
Comments: This riveting story kept me reading nonstop. Imaginatively told with astonishing clarity from the point of view of a dog, the insight into the topics covered lent authenticity and depth. Although I am not really a fan of auto racing, I was drawn to the subject in a way that I would not have known possible. I will almost all definitely look for more to read from this author. My husband relished it as much as I, and I purchased2copies to give as Christmas gifts to family members. |

Summary: Not just for dog lovers
Comments: Even though the concept of a dog writing a novel about his family is unbelievable, I found myself believing e word. Even if you are not a dog lover, the dog's point of view will give insight into human behavior. Afterall, Enzo the dog believes that he will become a human in his next lifetime - that's how advanced he is. Enzo is loyal to Denny, his master, throughout his life and even tries not to be in pain when Denny has to take him to the vet because Denny already is in huge debt. I love that Enzo calls Denny's inlaws the Twins, and sometimes the Evil Twins, because they dress and act alike. A rewarding read!! |

Summary: The Art of Driving in the Rain
Comments: I have just completed The Art of Driving in the Rain. It was a tearful final few pages, and I do not have a habit of crying. I am British, and the stiff upper lip is quite dominant. however for those final pages, the pages where enzo and denny have their final moments together, for those pages I cried.
This book took me by surprise, I was wandering those BookStar, carrying my dog, when a staff member came right up to me, out of the blue and told me to read it. I am so pleased she did.
Thank you Mr Stein for writing it and thank you Harper for publishing it!! |

Summary: Cute story
Comments: It's a tale of a dogs life told by a dog. It was cleverly done and at times I laughed and others I was sad.
It did have talk about race cars however the chapters were short and those I chose not to read too carefully.
A cute story written by a furry friend. Quick read and1that tells a great story. |
