The Art of Racing in the Rain

One of the most memerable books I have ever read. Just finished it in one sitting, only had to pause when my eyes were too full of tears to see the text. This book is about life and death as seen through the eyes of one with perhaps more wisdom than we. Brings back memories of all the animals that have shared my life and the hope that we will meet again. I really hope and pray that there is a real " rainbow bridge" and we can all meet again forever. Punch up "rainbow bridge" if you do not know about it. Bernie

This is simply the best book I have read in a very long time. Tragic, thoughtful, funny and moving, Stein gets you from every angle. Will read it again very soon; have bought several copies and given it to my close friends.

This is a wonderful story which brings together dogs, kids, loss of loved ones and racing. It is a wonderful story which brings about a deeper appreciation of life, racing and how struggles and battles in life define us all. I highly reccommend this book.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book! It is so fresh and unique to be told from the dog's point of view, but it isn't a "cutsey" point of view but more like an old soul telling the story about the admiration they feel for their families, the pain they feel when we feel it and the happiness when we are happy. I read it in two days, then my neighbor read it in two days and then passed it on to her 17 year old son who also loved it.

I am not a racing fan in any way but that is not really what the story is about. You'll appreciate this book even if you aren't a dog lover BUT if you ARE a dog lover, you will absolutely cherish it and want to share it with everyone you know!! I wish I hadn't read it yet so I could read it again for the first time!!

It was a little twee in the beginning and I wasn't quite sure, but I kept reading and by the end I was weeping.

This is a lovely book, narrated by Enzo, the dog, and tells the tale of his life and his beloved master. We learn to love Denny like Enzo loves him, and feel for him like Enzo feels for him. Also had some charming quirky insights into how dogs understand our world and how they feel about us humans. Felt oddly believable.

I read this book in two days, it's a smooth, light read but packs a punch in the end. Highly recommended.
