First of all, the initial description of the book that I read said NOTHING about this being heart-wrenching or a tear-jerker. If it had, I would have better prepared myself for this book.It was a beautiful story that made me happy, sad, angry. I laughed at a few parts, but mostly, this was a very ...

To jest książka, którą szczególnie poleciłbym właścicielom psów oraz… fanom wyścigów samochodowych i techniki jazdy. Wiem, że to dość oryginalne połączenie, ale ta książka właśnie świetnie łączy motywy psie oraz wyścigowe. Jest to poruszająca historia kierowcy rajdowego, który przez długie lata zmus...

Way more enjoyable than I thought a book narrated by a dog could be. Originally posted on GR in 2010

This story of the Swift family as told by their dog Enzo is a story of heartache and struggles but not so different than many other family stories. What makes this story different is that Enzo the dog tells the story. Enzo gives us his philosophy of life as he tells us about Denny, racing, TV watchi...

I loved this book. I'm not a race car fan but I love dogs. I thought the story telling through Enzo's point of view was adorable. Halfway through the book I was so stressed out with the plot line and I couldn't stop reading! I hear there might be a movie in the works starring Patrick Dempsey as Denn...

It took me a little while to get into this story. I just wasn't understanding how this book was about anything more than a dog and car racing info. Turns out, it really isn't about those things at all! I really enjoyed the camaraderie between dog and owner when faced with the biggest fight of the...

I love this book. The story of a family's struggles and triumphs -- narrated by Enzo the dog. Enzo is smart, humorous, curious, and frustrated that he can't communicate properly with his family. His one wish in life is to be reincarnated as a man -- an idea he's picked up from watching a document...
