I love a book with an unusual narrator and Enzo is definitely that. I knew the story before reading the book as I had watched the movie, which stayed close to the story line. Because I knew the story line I was not surprised at the family drama.
For those of you who are not familiar with the story line, it is a book about racing, it is a book about a dog, but mostly it is a book about family. The good parts of family and the bad parts as well. Because it is told from the viewpoint of the dog there is truth revealed in unique and poignant ways.
