About this product

Product Information

The New York Times bestseller, w available in paperback. A heart-wrenching but deeply funny and ultimately uplifting story of a dog's efforts to hold together his family in the face of a divisive custody battle.Enzo kws he is different from other dogs: a philosopher with a nearly human soul (and an obsession with opposable thumbs), he has educated himself by watching television extensively, and by listening very closely to the words of his master, Denny Swift, an up-and-coming race car driver.Through Denny, Enzo has gained tremendous insight into the human condition, and he sees that life, like racing, isn't simply about going fast. Using the techniques needed on the race track, one can successfully navigate all of life's ordeals.On the eve of his death, Enzo takes stock of his life, recalling all that he and his family have been through: the sacrifices Denny has made to succeed professionally; the unexpected loss of Eve, Denny's wife; the three-year battle over their daughter, Zoe, whose maternal grandparents pulled every string to gain custody. In the end, despite what he sees as his own limitations, Enzo comes through heroically to preserve the Swift family, holding in his heart the dream that Denny will become a racing champion with Zoe at his side. Having learned what it takes to be a compassionate and successful person, the wise canine can barely wait until his next lifetime, when he is sure he will return as a man.A heart-wrenching but deeply funny and ultimately uplifting story of family, love, loyalty, and hope, The Art of Racing in the Rain is a beautifully crafted and captivating look at the wonders and absurdities of human life . . . as only a dog could tell it.

Easy Read - a real page turner!
This book is a must-read for every dog lover! The life of a dog - told by that dog, but in a way that is totally "human", From the first page to the last, the story had me....sometimes laughing....sometimes weeping a bit....sometimes saying awwww or wow -- but always enchanted. It's an easy, relaxing read and has become one of the books I've enjoyed reading most, in the past few years. I'm sure going to check out other books by Garth Stein!

a heart-wrenching book that cannot be put down
Great story, told as only a dog could tell it. It shows we humans the compassion and understanding that dogs possess. There is indeed an imperceptible bond between dogs and their people which is not always easily defined. The book also tells of the trials of family life and the tragedies that can happen. In spite of the few sad parts of the book, there is a really good ending which will bring a smile to your face.

A great read for pet owners and non-pet owners alike
Loved the movie and the book is just as good. This is one of the few books I would re-read in a couple of years because it is an amazing story.

Everyone should have an ENZO
Don't let the idea of a dog narrating the story, and thinking way to much like a human, dissuade you from reading the book. Just accept it and you will enjoy it. I don't care one whit about race car driving, but I can at least appreciate it more now, after reading this book. I not only read for enjoyment, but I like to learn new things from each book. And I did.
