The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein
3.0
This novel was a totally cute, quick read. As a dog lover, I am naturally drawn to anything with a dog on it, and this book with a dog head on it was no different. Plus, it's actually written in the perspective of a dog! I figured I couldn't go wrong, and I was right.
This book tells the tale of Enzo, a lab mix that believes he is going to be reincarnated into a human after his death. Enzo is not your ordinary dog; he can't talk, of course, and he has no thumbs, but he understands everything going on around him, and if he had a voice synthesizer like Stephen Hawking, he may have even been able to communicate... but that's debatable.
Although this is more a human's tale from a dog's perspective, it was charming and cute. I'd recommend anyone that reads it and loves it to also read "A Dog's Purpose" by W. Bruce Cameron, also.
