Enzo knows he is different from other dogs: he thinks and feels in nearly human ways. He has educated himself by watching extensive television, and by listening very closely to the words of his master, Denny Swift, an up-and-coming race car driver. Through Denny, Enzo realizes that racing is a metaphor: that by applying the techniques a driver would apply on the race track, one can successfully navigate the ordeals and travails one encounters in life. Enzo relates the story of his human family, sharing their tragedies and triumphs. In the end, despite what he sees as his own limitations as a dog, Enzo comes through heroically to preserve the Swift family. The Art of Racing in the Rain is a testament to a man's life, given by his dog. But it is also a testament to the dog, himself. Though Enzo cannot speak, he understands everything that happens around him as he bears witness to his master's problems. His enforced muteness only refines his listening ability, and allows him to understand many of life's nuances that are lost on most humans. With humour, sharp observation, and a courageous heart, Enzo guides the reader to the bittersweet yet ultimately satisfying conclusion: there are no limitations to what we can achieve, if we truly know where we want to be.

對有養寵物經驗的人來講,人狗感情寫得好,淚點多,但重點『狗眼看人生』的故事和道理一般。
評分Are you prepared to meet with the next life of your dog?
評分沒有很感動。不過最後一章不錯。
評分讀完這本書百味雜陳,把狗狗和賽車結閤起來也算很有新意。結局真的很贊。也許每隻狗狗都有一個人的靈魂。美語真是太恐怖瞭,隨便加個er就不認識瞭,bleacher,slicker.
評分很多時候,都會用這本書裏的話來激勵自己。眼睛往哪裏看,車子就往哪裏去。。。
