Hey everybody! Panda here, and today I’ve decided to review
the book The Art of Racing in the Rain, a book that really touched my heart in
every single way.
Age Recommendation
For this particular book, though I loved it very much, I’d
have to say the age rating should be 14 and up. Children younger than 14 should
get a parent to at least skim through it before they read it. Though I read it
at an age younger than 14, It’s not right for everyone. The book contains
mature/dark themes such as cancer and death, and contains plenty of swearing
and some sexuality.
My Rating + Review
An easy 5/5!! I absolutely adored this book, and the
emotions I felt throughout it were very real. I cried, shrieked, and laughed
really hard all the way through. The characters were very real and very-well
written. It was beautiful and nearly perfect in every single way.
Plot
This book is about a journey, life, through the eyes of a
lovable dog. It follows Enzo the dog’s short doggie life, and it talks about
all of his adventures growing up with his human master, a car racer, and his
wife and daughter. After a heartbreaking tragedy, Enzo watches the family fall
apart and join together again. A very powerful, very uplifting story that will
bring tears to anyone’s life. You will never look at your dog the same way
again.
I highly recommend this book to everyone with a heart!
