I loved this book in 2008 when I first read it. Round 2 was even better. Any dog lover will adore it, and any human will attain all of life's emotions. Great story!

I read this book hoping it would be better than the movie, which was just OK. Didnt get past about ch 15. Interesting premise about a dogs POV, but it was mostly about the humans- and I'm not a fan of car racing ( a lot of details about…

Loved it! Enzo the dog is so human in his story telling. And then he is. Great racing detail too. Where your eyes go the car goes. Read it in one sitting; couldn't put it down.

Although this book hit a little close to home with how criminal allegations can ruin a person's life, the perseverance of the human and the loyalty of his dog, was inspiring. I loved the first-person style from the dog and quickly fell in…

Really enjoyed this book. The main human character goes through all kinds of life events, and his dog buddy is there with him, at all times providing steady love and support, as dog buddies do. Enzo was observant and wise, and humans…

I absolutely loved this book!! The perspective of Enzo is so heartwarming. It definitely takes you through every possible human emotion, so some parts are heart breaking, but others are just so joyous! It’s so encompassing of all seasons…

This is a remarkable book due to the concept of being told by the family dog. A story of a family through it's ups and downs as witnessed by the family pet. Bravo to the author for his originality.

This was on a feel-good book list and it's anything but feel-good. The main character suffers tragedy after tragedy, and most characters are completely unlikeable. The only redeeming factor was the dog who was smarter than them all.

Author gets away with murder as writing like a dog. Brilliant.

A self help book about motor racing written from the perspective of the family dog. It sounds bizarre, maybe even insane, but the idea is actually inspired!! For all that it sounds crazy, the idea works remarkably well. I loved every…

TOTALLY LOVED THIS BOOK. Watched the movie the next night.

To call this just a dog story totally underrates the book. Loaded with wonderful insights and "philosophy of life" stuff that makes life meaningful. A dog's life is all in the moment and racing in the rain for a driver encompasses each…

This story came from an interesting prospective....the family dog. Not something I've done before. It was alright for a one of. He was lovely & loving. There was a death & a custody battle all interspersed with how to drive a racing car.…

I'm not a dog owner, so maybe I would have liked the book better if I was. I couldn't really get into it and sometimes felt like the dog was voicing opinions that wouldn't be acceptable coming from a human character, particularly a male…

I had this on hold for a while and then when it came up for me to check out, I was hesitating to do it because we had just lost our dog to an inoperable tumor. Needless to say, I didn’t want to read something that would have me crying…

The Art of Racing in the Rain is about a dog named Enzo, and the life he lives with his race car driving owner Denny. However, Enzo is no ordinary dog, as he possesses the philosophical beliefs that make him have qualities similar to a…

This book was wonderful! It was a little sad, funny, suspenseful. It also made me think differently about how I talk to my dog.

This book is great. I love how it is somewhat similar to the "A Dogs Purpose" series since it is in Enzo's perspective. Have you seen the movie? I have and it was okay since they missed some of my favorite events but they kind of got the…
