The Art of Racing in the Rain
The Art of Racing in the Rain is a book that will make you cry, laugh, and contemplate many different themes in life. What makes this book so interesting is that it is narrated by a dog, Enzo. Throughout the book, Enzo and Denny (his owner) keep a long-lasting friendship and love for one another, even when Denny goes through hard times when his wife dies, and the long battle for custody over his child, Zoe. Enzo is constantly helping Denny, and supporting him with Denny's love of race car driving, even when it starts to get complicated. Another interesting part of the book is Enzo's love of talking about becoming human. He dreams about his after life becoming a human and how he'll be able to have thumbs! Enzo always thought that he was somehow part human even when he was a dog. This book is an amazing story about a wonderful friendship between a dog and a human.

I read The Art of Racing in the Rain too and I loved it! I thought it was creative and had more of an impact on me that the story was narrated by the dog, Enzo. I’d recommend reading the Good Dog or My Life in Dog Years. Both are similar to this book.
