Both made me cry and I think they each have their strong points. But getting to The Art of Racing in the Rain...Staceylane wrote:Absolutely one of my favorites! Brought me to tears

I'm trying to compose myself so I don't sound like a lunatic, were Maxwell and Trish for real?! They were so awful! They made me so upset I (almost) couldn't finish the book. What terrible people, how could they say such horrendous things after what he went through. Ugh!
Okay, rant over. Though their presence was part of the reason I enjoyed the book. It was very emotional, especially those last two chapters, and made me cry like a baby. The book also has a great message to keep going no matter what life throws at you, and that dogs are smart and amazing

Overall it was very heartfelt. My favorite part, sahmoun2778, was when Enzo got to ride in the race car as well!
I would recommend it, but it wasn't quite a 4 for me.

I loved the characters and the friendship between Enzo and Denny... I loved how Enzo saw us, humans, and then told us about us in his own doggie way. Really beautiful book.

You an I, tonight!
You may forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.
When you have done, pray tell me
That I my thoughts may dim;
Haste! lest while you're lagging.
I may remember him!

There were some sad moments in the book, but also some exciting times. This book gets 4 stars from me.
I heard they were making a movie. I hope it is as good as the book.

I wrote down many of the quotes from this novel, such as, "What you manifest is before you." Among others.
I think the part that really got to me was right after Dannys wife dies. When Enzo runs away from Danny and he attacks the squirrel. It really tells the reader how much pain Enzo was in because of her death. (I want to cry right now, just thinking about it).
Just an amazing book. I definitely look at my own dog now and think that maybe he's just a human stuck in a dogs body, you know? I wonder if he aspires to die and come back a human.
