The Art of Racing in the Rain - Garth Stein: not a novel novel (776 words)

I bought this book from Sainsbury's because it was on offer and I was hoping to read a book which was 'different' and this certainly sounded like it would be considering the blurb! It caught my eye because it was brightly coloured with it's bright blue background and half a dog's face peering up from the bottom of the front cover. I read the blurb, decided to give it a go and then took it home and started to read... Characters: Enzo- the dog, the narrator Denny- The owner. A racing driver. Eve- Denny's wife who dies from a brain tumour Zoe- Denny and Eve's daughter. The story is different to most on the market as it ... Read the complete review

A LITTLE INSIGHT INTO YOUR DOGS MIND? (378 words)

Im going to attempt a book review, I think they are difficult because, I don't want to spoil the story by telling you every-thing, but, I want to tell you enough to get your attention. Im a real "bookworm" and have been since I was tiny, certain books like this one I actually slow down reading it when I get near the end because I don't want it to finish. Once you finish a book, its like closing a little world you have been in whilst reading it. This particular book is unusual in that its written totally from the dog-Enzos point of view- its made me look at my dog in a whole new light I have been very suspicious for years that she can read ...

This is simply the most amazing book and is within my top ten of 2008 so far. I'm very grateful that I've had the opportunity to read this through Amazon Vine and I don't think I've gushed about a Vine product in this manner before! It's absolutely amazing and when I say get the tissues ready I'm not even talking about a specific event, I just found it all so heart-warming and a fantastic reflection on life itself that every now and then I had big fat tears rolling down my cheeks at Enzo's observations. There's not much product information available on Amazon and the question from the inside jacket is enough to get you thinking, "Have you ever looked at ... Read the complete review
