Definite fun read!
The Art of Racing in the Rain is a terrific book. The main character, Denny is a strong person, who experiences life's joys and sorrows. Denny is a fighter and is relentless in the truth even though others are sometimes against him. The author gives life to Enzo, Denny's dog, who is the narrator of this book. We lost our beloved dog to cancer, and this book brought back the beautiful memories of our dog, Hutch. My family is looking forward to purchasing a new pup even more since reading this book! The tributes to the famous race car drivers is awesome.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Mark of a Good Writer
One of the attributes we recognize in a good writer is the ability to take us [the reader] and transport us into the imagined and created sphere of reality where he/she is existing at the moment. If you can "feel" the icy gust of wind trying to invade the warmth of your protective Arctic gear, if you feel your eyes tearing from the spicules of ice driven by gale force winds. A good writer can do this for us. And Garth Stein has the ability to do that...serendipitously through the eyes of the lovable Enzo and the human he is guarding and guiding. I confess I read this book once before, but if something is outstanding, if the experience moves you, and remains ensconced in a special place in our psyche, then it is logical and reasonable to repeat that experience. My heartfelt admiration to you, Garth SteinVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A really great read!
This was the first book I ever read by Garth Stein. I read it on my kindle and loved it so much I had to own the hardcover version and the one I purchased here is really beautiful. Mr. Stein has a unique way of telling a story and he uses words so well. I'm now reading another of his books and will go on to read anything he writes. A Sudden Light is totally different in every way from The Art of Racing In the Rain except for the brilliant writing!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Highly recommend
One of the most enjoyable books I've read in a long time. If you've ever wondered what your dog is thinking or how much he loves you...read this story. If you're a dog lover it's a must read...since it's told by Enzo, himself. And dogs don't lie (maybe just exaggerate from time to time)!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
