Prompt Proofing Blog Post - Book Review: The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein

    VANCOUVER, BC, May 25, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The book we are reviewing for May is "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein.

A must for dog lovers everywhere, this is an easy read and - at times - hilarious. That said, the tale, told by Enzo the dog, is emotionally charged, poignant and compelling. Keep the Kleenex handy!

Enzo is an amazing dog, not least due to his wise insight into human nature, his strong belief that he will one day be reborn as a man and his considerable and extensive vocabulary. The biggest obstacle I faced with this book was coming to terms with the idea of a dog that was highly articulate and extremely knowledgeable. However, once you have achieved a willing suspension of disbelief, seeing the world through Enzo's eyes is truly enlightening.

Enzo's master, Denny, is an aspiring race-car driver (the book will presumably be enjoyed by racing fans also, however, my limited interest in, or knowledge of, Formula One racing did not detract from my enjoyment of the book one iota). Denny's life is far from smooth but Enzo is a faithful companion and support throughout.

The Hollywood style ending does seem a tad contrived but the several issues faced by Denny and Enzo throughout the book are dealt with empathetically and with occasionally heartbreaking realism. I have yet to meet anyone who has read this book and failed to love it!
