The novel captures the strength of human will, love for family and demand for justice. The Art of Racing in the Rain is not just about a dog. Just when Enzo thinks Denny's tribulations can't get any worse, someone accuses him of a wretched crime that he did not commit.Įnzo's language and narration is clever, thoughtful and at times, humorous, but never cliche or silly. When his wife gets sick and dies, his in-laws drag him to court for custody of his daughter. Denny, Enzo's human, is a race car driver who suffers hurdle after hurdle. Narrated by a philosophical and adoring dog named Enzo, The Art of Racing in the Rain opens with the dog's final days on Earth as he looks back on his life and his master's troubles. Even though I have no interest in race cars and I have never owned a dog, I still can say this book was worth every bit of its hype.
I'm over a decade late to the game, but I finally read Garth Stein's bestseller The Art of Racing in the Rain, which later was adapted into a movie starring Milo Ventimiglia.
