Borrowed 'The Art of Racing In The Rain' by Garth Stein from friend soon after my exam as i was told that this is one of the popular and best-selling book. This indeed is an interesting book and it touches me in certain point.
Enzo knows he is different from other dogs; he has a human mind, he is obsessed with the opposition of human thumbs and has its own explaination why his couldn't oppose just like any human. His master, Denny, a well-known F1 racer shares everything with him including his life, his family and even his TV programmes. So, Enzo has educated himself by watching television extensively, and by listening very closely to the words of his master. Through Denny, Enzo has gained tremendous insight into the human condition, and he sees that life, like racing, isn't simply about going fast. Using the techniques needed on the race track, everyone can successfully navigate all of life's ordeals. Prior to his death, Enzo takes stock of his life, recalling all that he and his family have been through: the sacrifices Denny has made to succeed professionally; the unexpected loss of Eve, Denny's wife; the three-year battle over their daughter, Zoë, whose maternal grandparents pulled every string to gain custody etc.
What an uplifting story of family, love, loyalty, and hope! As only a dog could speak....
