The Art of Racing in the Rain

Author: Garth Stein
Stars: 5
Review by: RjS


The story is narrated by Enzo, Denny Swift's dog. Through flash-back, we know of all the milestones in Denny's life, including his marriage to Eve, the birth of Zoe and sadly, Eve's death. It is only after Eve dies, that the story takes off and I found it very challenging to put the book down. I am not a race car fan and I have to admit that I don't understand car racing, so even though there was a lot of car racing fact, the story was so strong, you didn't mind it at all, because you realize that the racing saved Denny's life, as did Enzo.
