![]() ![]() Dogs are much more sentient than most people give them credit for, yes. Nevertheless, there is MUCH I didn’t like about this book.įor starters, I didn’t find the dog perspective convincing. Some people have criticized the book for being too much about racing, but I think the whole thing is pretty balanced. I also really liked the way Stein wove race advice into everyday life advice - the title is incredibly apropos. I do want to say that this book was written well and I appreciate the unusual perspective. ![]() Her parents bring an awful custody case against Denny, which includes false statutory rape charges, courtesy of Eve’s cousin. Denny soon meets and marries a woman named Eve, and their daughter Zoe arrives shortly after that.Įverything is happy for the blink of an eye, but then Eve gets brain cancer and dies. Enzo is a terrier mix who loves racing and watching documentaries. ![]() The story focuses on Denny, the father, who is a racecar driver with big dreams. This is a family tale, told from the perspective of the dog, Enzo. So turn back now if that’s not your thing! Before I get into my thoughts though, I want to issue a quick warning that this review contains a few spoilers. However, I have few good things to say about it. It’s told from a dog’s perspective and is quite widely acclaimed, so I was excited to read it. ![]() The Art of Racing in the Rain, by Garth Stein, was my book club’s January selection. ![]()
