Usually, when a dog narrates a story, it has an overall comical effect.
The emotional impact this book has had on me is immense. From Danny’s relationship with a woman Enzo feels he can’t compete with, to babies, the harsh realities of a racing career and a cunning murder of crows that torments Enzo. The driver and dog support each other through the trials of life. “The Art of Racing in the Rain” is a dramatic novel that follows racecar driver Danny Swift and his family through the eyes of his faithful golden retriever, Enzo.
Since it was a book for school, I thought it would be as dry and boring as all the other required books in English. When I picked up Garth Stein’s “The Art of Racing in the Rain” in a frenzied rush to read it the night before I had to write an essay about it, I didn’t expect to cry at the first chapter.
