Racing in the Rain: My Life as a Dog by Garth Stein
3.0
It is hard to sympathize with, and adopt the viewpoint of a dog.
The book is elementary in its writing style, a thing to be appreciated. But the lack of details as well as an event-based procession of story makes it hard to get into Enzo's *cough* paws.
The story, except for its unique narration style, has nothing impressive to offer, and having already seen movies about the life of a race car driver, it was really quite bland.
Unfortunately, no tears were shed during the length of the book.
Maybe, the expectations were too high, or maybe, I should've read it at an earlier age, or maybe, it just wasn't for me.
Whatever it be, I still appreciate the simplicity. Read it to your kids, and they'll love it.
