I loved this story. With such a unique perspective on the world, Enzo narrates this story perfectly. Filled with something for everyone, if you love dog's or racecars, this book is for you.

I resisted reading this because I had seen it EVERYWHERE (and who wants to be mainstream?)
But I'm so glad I did.
It was the perfect vacation read while I was missing my own dog. I don't believe he is quite so philosophical as Enzo, but then, perhaps he would surprise me if he were to narrate his own story.
The epilogue was a little neater than I would have liked, but overall such an affirming story.

Just finished blowing my nose, and having a severe emotional meltdown. Damn that was a perfect fucking book And I’m not even an animal person. Enzo is everything, now I gotta go watch this movie♥️♥️

Just not my cup of tea. Read the first 6 chapters and didn't even like the main character(a dog). It's hard not to like a dog. It was fluff and I didn't find it all that enjoyable.
