The Art of Racing in the Rain is a novel by Garth Stein. It is 321 pages long and is a fairly easy read. The Art of Racing in the Rain perfect book for anyone who loves a heartwarming story about the relationship between human and pets.
The book starts off with a newlywed couple buying their first place and getting their first dog, Enzo. The book is told thru the eyes of Enzo. It truly gives you a sense that dogs can understand things and are always trying new ways to express themselves. Denny, the father loves to drive race cars and is one of the best in the business, but does not make enough money at it. Eve, the mother is continually controlled by her parents. Enzo narrates through his life on the eve of his death. At times it is very sad, but overall it shows that all good things must come to an end.
I loved this book; the first page almost made me cry. Enzo is a stunning character, who will capture heart. It showed me that there was possibly more going on inside a dogs head besides food, and sleep. This book is appropriate for all ages. I rate this book an A+.

My aunt told me I should definitely read this book. I know it will make me cry, especially since the dog is telling the story. I suppose we should recommend it for next month's book club meeting!
