From 2019- I really enjoyed the narration through the perspective of a dog because he was able to make some of the darker situations light with his goofiness. The plot never bored me, and I think this would be a great book for anyone (probably one of the few books I've read that I would recommend to guys). I'd give it 5 stars because it's fun, but it also deals with some heavier issues so it isn't too juvenile, and the ending was perfect
Very sad book, but Stein does an excellent job of telling the story from the point of view of a dog!
I'd like to give this 4.5 stars. I'd also like to never read a book about a pet ever again; you know how it's going to end. But, a certain amount of predictability aside, this is a really special book with a very endearing narrator who has some important things to say about the lives we live with their moments of strangeness, sadness, and beauty. I couldn't put it down.
You will cry. I'm not going to lie. It will be worth it, I promise. The last chapter of this book is one of the more beautiful things I have read. The imagery is something that stays with me, even though I haven't read the book for several years.
For those of you who have read Marley and Me and found it lacking a certain poetry, that is what this book brings.

3.5 rounded up here.
As a HUGE F1 fan, it was fun to read all of the little tidbits throughout the book. Those were the best parts for me.
Of course, the reader can’t help but get attached to Enzo, the dog. His perspective is unique and often funny. It was also poignant during serious emotional scenes.
For me, the novel centered too much around Enzo witnessing adult type behavior. I think the book would have been better without any of it. Especially, as it was used for the pivotal conflict.
If you are a race fan, those parts are fun. If you love dogs, most of Enzo’s story as it pertains to his love for his family is heartwarming.
