The Art of Racing in the Rain Audiobook

" MUST READ. Especially if you are a Dog person, this is the most amazing book I have ever read. I could read it a thousand more times. Completely changed the way I look at life, and dogs. "

" Through a dog's eyes. Loved it! "

" Pleasantly surprised by this book. A quick read, but poignant. And who can resist a canine narrator? "

" It started off great, but I lost interest about 1/2 way through. I finished it, but wouldn't read it again. "

" I read this at the beach a few years ago. Story told from the dog's point of view. Enjoyable. A few uncomfortable parts where the dog is trying to understand what these humans are doing... "

" Told from an advanced dog POV, possibly what I have always suspected about dogs. "

" Guess you need to be a dog lover to give it 5 stars "

" I am certifiably a sap. A work friend lent me this book and at first - I was SO not into the racing storyline. But as I got into it - I started to appreciate the racing metaphors. This book was at times hard to read as the shit just kept raining down on the main character. But of course I loved the dog Enzo so he kept me engaged. "

" I loved this book. I had a hard time putting. Down. I makes me worried what my cats are thinking. "

" Ever since reading this book when I walk or talk to my dog I feel I have new insight into HER thinking. Yet you do not have to have an animal to read and enjoy the book. It is a compassionate read, filled with despair, hope, love and rejoicing. "

" I read this as a book club pick and absolutely loved it... Any dog owner/lover will probably really enjoy this book (others too, but especially them!!) "

" This book was phenomenal!Definitely would recommend it to anyone who's a dog lover or just loves a good book in general! :) "

" adored this sentimental story told from the POV of a dog...I give this book as a gift all the time. "

" I had a hard time getting into this book until about halfway through. The story moved very quickly at that point, found it mildly entertaining but it's not "Where the Red Fern Grows" "

" A well-written book and a unique voice, the dog, but it's a painful story that does not end well. Yes, I know, bad things happen, but the sadness here seemed unmitigated by any joy. "

" Be prepared to cry. Have tissues on hand and don't attempt to finish reading this one in public. "

" Loved this book. Bawled my eyes out through large chunks of it, but loved it anyway. Well written and definitely pulls at the heart strings. "

" What a wonderful read - made me laugh out loud! "

" Thoroughly enjoyable. The tone of the book would have been ridiculous if the narrator were human, but pretty much nails the voice of friendly, loyal, intelligent domestic dog... "

" Good read-sad though. I don't usually re-read books, but this one was worth the effort. "

" This is an amazing story about life through the eyes of a dog. If you have a dog, I highly recommend reading this book! It was a vary fast paced read, and I was caught between moments of crying and laughing. I feel like the author truly captured the dog's perspective in this story. Amazing book! "

" I loved this book for so many reasons! Enzo the dog and his viewpoint on life, love, families and just being a dog. Great characters, story, and lots of good life insights! Highly reccommend!! "

" I love a good dog book, but the endings are always sad. This is a sweet book told from the dog's perspective. I've been looking at my own dog differently since I've read this book. An added bonus is the touching ending. "

" Wow! What a marvellous book!!! It has been a while since I have been so emotionally involved with the characters in a book. Love you, Enzo!! "

" One of the best books I've read in a long time. If it does't make you cry and stay with you forever, you're probably not alive. "

" Beautifully written from an enlightened dog's POV about choices & consequences, and above all else, the love of a dog. "

" Simple and touching. It's a quick read but truly a nice one. "

" From the ratings it looks like many either love or hate this book. I felt like I was reading a screenplay and could imagine how the various scenes in this book would play out. There were some entertaining moments, but overall the story seemed too melodramatic to me. "

" "La macchina va dove vanno gli occhi." "

" This a wonderful book. A must read for dog lovers! "

" Enjoyable book for a bad weather Sunday. finished in 1 sitting. I learned a lot about car racing and had fun reading the story from a Doug's point of view. not great literature but a pleasant read. "

" Such a touching story and a quick read! Loved the way the story was told through a dogs eyes. Fantastic! "

" The idea of a first person narrative from a dog's point of view is unusual. Garth Stein has written a very poignant novel that way, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. "

" Beautiful. I cried, its just so amazing. No words to describe it. "

" Loved it, not as much as "A Dog's Purpose" but it was still really good, it went too fast. (Ha!) "

" Not what I expected. I don't think I'll look at my dog the same way again. An excellent read but be prepared for a good cry. "

" I liked the writing but thought the story moved along pretty slowly. "

" This was a sweet story, but it was written from teh perspective of a dog so I think you would have to be an animal lover to really enjoy it... "

" I really liked the style in which this book was written from the dogs perspective. "

" This is one of the best books I read so far this year. The only thing I recommend is not to read much of it in a public place, because crying ensued on the train and it was embarassing. "

" The overall story was sweet, but the writing was very boring to me. For me, the story dragged on forever and didn't get interesting until the end. However, there was a lot written about cars and racing which I have zero interest in, so that could have been it. Glad I am done reading this one. "

" I loved this book, have read it once and plan on reading it again. A very moving story. "

" It was good, but sad. I cried at the end even though I knew up-front what is going to happen. "

" A must read for any dog lover! It moved me to tears! "
