The Art of Racing in the Rain
by Garth Stein (Goodreads Author)
by Garth Stein (Goodreads Author)
In this intriguing fiction novel, a story of hope and loyalty is conveyed through the lens of a lovable dog-named Enzo, with a near human soul. The story is set in modern day Seattle Washington, where most of the adventures of Enzo and his family play out. Denny Swift, Enzos master and a compassionate racecar driver, and his wife Eve and daughter Zoe face many ups and downs, from losing a job to death in the family. When Eve’s parents want custody of her daughter Zoe, things turn up side down for Denny and Enzo is there to help 100% of the way. It’s impossible to not love Enzo a dog who knows he’s not like most other dogs and understands what goes on in human’s lives. The novel talks extensively about Denny and Enzo's love of racing by conveying metaphors between the track and life and the many struggles along the way to success.
The fact that a dog narrates the book really makes it a page-turner. Messages of loyalty, hope, ambition, and love are clearly displayed throughout the book and keep readers engaged. The challenging text at times, and difficult vocabulary make this book well suited for teenagers and older readers. If anyone is looking for a quick and sweet read then this is the right book!
