Commentary Toward Books Racing in the Rain: My Life as a Dog
Now a family friendly major motion picture from Fox 2000 Studios—featuring Milo Ventimiglia, Amanda Seyfried, and Kevin Costner as the voice of Enzo the dog!In this young readers’ edition of the New York Times bestselling adult novel The Art of Racing in the Rain, meet one funny mutt - Enzo, the lovable dog who tells this story.
Enzo knows he is different from other dogs. Most dogs love to chase cars, but Enzo longs to race them.
He learns about racing and the world around him by watching TV and by listening to the words of his best friend, Denny, an up-and-coming race car driver, and Denny's daughter, Zoë, his constant companion. Enzo finds that life is just like being on the racetrack - it isn't simply about going fast.
Applying the rules of racing to his world, Enzo takes on his family's challenges and emerges a hero. In the end, Enzo holds in his heart the dream that Denny will go on to be a racing champion with his daughter by his side.
For theirs is an extraordinary friendship - one that reminds us all to celebrate the triumph of the human (and canine) spirit.

Quick read. Captures the emotional life and emotional skillfulness of dogs. However, I liked "A dog's purpose" better. Enzo was a bit too smart intellectually for me.I loved this book. The book is better than the movie. The movie didn't make me cry but the book made me cry a little. It is about a guy named Denny and Denny who adopted a baby puppy. it didn't really explain what dog it was but anyway, the dog Enzo is more human than dog Enzo thinks. When Enzo gets older Enzo gets jealous because Denny has a wife now. one day the wife and Enzo were going on a walk, and then something happens and she has to go to the hospital. A couple of years later she dies of
I didn't know anything about this book before starting it although the name was vaguely familiar.THE WORLD: Our very own world. We are situated in Seattle, USA.CHARACTERS: The main character is Enzo, who is actually a dog. Yes, the book's narrator is a dog my friends but a very clever one who has very human-like thoughts. Enzo's owner is Denny Swift, a race car driver, and the one who makes Enzo fall in love with car racing by taking Enzo to all his races, watching TV together, etc. The

Bookaday #9. This book does not work for children on so many levels. It is a pale comparison to the second best dog book in the world, from which it was adapted, "The Art of Racing in the Rain". Although Enzo continues as the witty and philosophical canine narrator, his humorous anecdotes are few, interspersed between too many serious adult problems. I just don't see kids age 8-12 (as mentioned on the back cover) being interested in Denny's woes, which are very compelling and poignant to the
Racing in the Rain is an endearing story about a dog, Enzo, who lived at a farm until he was picked out by Denny and taken to Seattle. Enzo was not altogether happy when Denny met Eve, and then they soon got married. He was jealous for Denny's affection. Enzo is very wise, but he cannot tell them his thoughts because his tongue is long and floppy so he cannot form the words he wants to say. Fortunately, because the reader can read his thoughts, we learn is depth about the family and the exciting
It was Avery good book but it was also very sad.
This lad-lit book told through the eyes of Enzo, a dog with amazingly human insight, was really a strong 3 1/2 stars for me. With lots of racing references, I could see a sensitive guy enjoying this along with women who like a good story-line with a mostly happy ending. It's a very quick read. I would caution you to not read the final 20 pages while using mass transit as you might shed a tear or two.
