Rezensionen

"One of those stories that may earn its place next to Richard Bach's Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist, and Yann Martel's Life of Pi." - Portland Oregonian

"Splendid." - People (3 ½ out of 4 stars)

"Fans of Marley & Me, rejoice." - Entertainment Weekly

"The perfect book for anyone who knows that some of our best friends walk beside us on four legs; that compassion isn't only for humans; and that the relationship between two souls...meant for each other never really comes to an end." - Jodi Picoult

"The Art of Racing in The Rain has everything:

love, tragedy, redemption, danger, and-most especially-the canine narrator Enzo. This old soul of a dog has much to teach us about being human. I loved this book." - Sara Gruen, Author of Water for Elephants
