This is my second book of 2010. 73 to go!
I found this to be a very entertaining and interesting novel. Stein tells the story of Denny Swift, race car driver and owner of an amazing dog, Enzo. The story is told through Enzo's eyes, as he spends his life preparing, he is convinced, to be reincarnated as a man. There is a lot of detail about racing which helped me to understand the appeal of this sport, at least to the drivers. Enzo is Denny's best friend and support as he goes through incredible difficulty and loss in his life. Enzo is full of observations and ideas about the life of men around him, some of it quite profound. It is a very sweet story but I think the author does a good job of avoiding getting too sappy.
