Not bad for a children's version. May have to read the adult one soon for comparison.

There really wasn’t much of a change between this and the adult version. The curse words were replaced.... but not much else. I don’t think it was any lower of a reading level or anything. So I wouldn’t bother getting this for a tween or older unless you are big on no curse words.

This book was so amazing. It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me think about life in a whole new way. Overall an awesome book!

It is an absolute gem!

I picked it up under the impression that it would be a ‘fun’ read. A dog who is into racing cars instead of chasing them was bound to be an entertainer. But this book is so much more. I fell in love with Enzo while on the roller coaster of a journey that he was on along with his humans.

Heart touching.

I enjoyed this more than I anticipated for a story so wrapped up in auto racing. Quite a tear-jerker, really. I doubt the young adult in my house would enjoy it, though.

I loved this book. The only thing I would like to note is that is is an adaptation of the adult book, The Art of Racing in the Rain. I usually prefer to read the original version and feel a little cheated to realize that I didn't. However, I would still say it is a good book.

Perskaičiusi knygą supratau, kad kaip man nelabai patinka kai filmuose kalba gyvūnai taip ir čia. Tikriausiai ne mano stiliaus knyga. Knygos pradžia nebuvo nieku įpatinga, toliau gal kiek buvo įdomiau. Kai kur knygoje teko nusišypsoti, kai kur susigraudinti, o kai kur ir pyktelti. Tačiau nieko įspūdingo. Aišku pabaiga kaip ir didžiojoje dalyje knygų – laiminga. Nelabai turiu ką pasakyti apie knygą, ši man nelabai patiko.
