Fans of Marley & Me, rejoice. If you've ever wondered what your dog is thinking, Stein's third novel offers an answer. Enzo is a lab terrier mix plucked from a farm outside Seattle to ride shotgun with race car driver Denny Swift as he pursues success on the track and off. Denny meets and marries Eve, has a daughter, Zoë, and risks his savings and his life to make it on the professional racing circuit. Enzo, frustrated by his inability to speak and his lack of opposable thumbs, watches Denny's old racing videos, coins koanlike aphorisms that apply to both driving and life, and hopes for the day when his life as a dog will be over and he can be reborn a man. When Denny hits an extended rough patch, Enzo remains his most steadfast if silent supporter. Enzo is a reliable companion and a likable enough narrator, though the string of Denny's bad luck stories strains believability. Much like Denny, however, Stein is able to salvage some dignity from the over-the-top drama. “I savored Garth Stein’s The Art of Racing in the Rain for many reasons: a dog who speaks, the thrill of competitive racing, a heart-tugging storyline, and--best of all--the fact that it is a meditation on humility and hope in the face of despair.” Gehört zu VerlagsreihenHarper Perennial Olive Editions (2014 Olive) Bearbeitet/umgesetzt inIst gekürzt inHat als Erläuterung für Schüler oder StudentenAuszeichnungenPrestigeträchtige AuswahlenBemerkenswerte Listen

Das Buch ist zwar irgendwie "hundehaft", beispielsweise finde ich die Beschreibung der Großeltern, "der Zwillinge", oder die Perspektive darauf, wie wenig offen und ehrlich Menschen ihre Gefühle zeigen können, sehr gelungen.Dennoch hätte es zur Erzählung dieser Geschichte die Hundeperspektive nicht gebraucht oder man hätte sie anders darstellen können. Das Ende fand ich übertrieben und kitschig, unnötig und unglaubwürdig, wenn es auch von Anfang an so zu erwarten war. ( )
