" Loved the author's poignant insight about how our family pets are woven in to the fabric of our lives. From a pet lover's perspective, I've often wondered from the look on my dog or cat's face how much they really know and understand. Likewise, I have appreciated the way they cuddle with me when I'm sick and nuzzle me when I'm sad... always so in tuned to emotions and the environment. This book captures the intuition and deep knowing of our pets, one dog in particular, Enzo, and the mutual loyalty between pet and owner in a touching, sweet story. "

" 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. "

" 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.
