I've never read a novel about dogs and certainly none with a dog as main character, but after reading this one I know I've read the best one in its genre. The highly intellectual dog Enzo grabbed me from the first line and never ever let me go; not even after finishing the book.
There are only few books that take me into their story as if I'm one of them. Actually, apart from The Art of Racing in the Rain, only Harry Potter and Fear and Trembling succeeded. I guess that places Garth Stein among ...more

Favorite quote..."That which you manifest is before you." And, I will never look a zebras quite the same(ha). Enzo's keen observations and comments make me wonder about Aza and her musings of her people.

beautiful, beautiful
I really liked this book, though sometimes I got annoyed at everything the author put the guy through. At times I thought "what else can happen to this guy?". But I loved the description from the dog's point of view. I was also surprised how interested the description of racing - something I know and care nothing about - could be.

It was a very original book. Narrated by a dog but still was highly relatable. Made me cry a couple of times. Definitely a very good book :)
This book has me laughing out loud, it's so funny. And short chapters make it feel like a quick read!

A must read! This book is one of the best books I have ever read.
Third time to read and I always get more...highly quotable.
It made me laugh, it made me cry, and it is one of the few books that I've been compelled to read again, enjoying it at least the same amount, if not more with each time through.
