Splendid. People

The perfect book for anyone who knows that compassion isnt only for humans, and that the relationship between two souls who are meant for each other never really comes to an end. Every now and then Im lucky enough to read a novel I cant stop thinking about: this is one of them. Jodi Picoult

Its impossible not to love Enzo. Minneapolis Star Tribune

This old soul of a dog has much to teach us about being human. I loved this book. Sara Gruen

Enzo knows 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, isnt simply about going fast. Using the techniques needed on the race track, one can successfully navigate all of lifes 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, Dennys wife; the three-year battle over their daughter, Zo, 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 Zo at his side.

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 lifeas only a dog could tell it.
