    Why we think it’s a great listen: If you’ve ever loved a dog - or even patted a dog - this book, told from the perspective of man’s best friend, will tug at your heartstrings...and won’t let go until long after Welch performs the last word. Enzo knows he is different from other dogs: a philosopher with a nearly human soul (and an obsession with opposable thumbs), he has educated himself by watching television extensively and by listening very closely to the words of his master.

    Lora says: "Enzo (because he's so wize) for president."
    "9 out of 10"

    Story

    I don't particularly like dogs and I am not interested in race cars. That having been said, I found this book very enjoyable. Enzo as philosopher was done well. This was a device that could have disintergrated into comedy, but did not. The blending of the philosophy of life with the philosophy of racing skill/art worked well. This is a novel that appeals because it is a novel about love...not a novel about dogs or racing. If I had to rate this novel, I would give it a 9 out of 10.
