review 1: Although in the children's section in the library, this was not a children's book. I stopped reading it to my boys, because the content was ...for lack of a better word, 'too real'. The ease by which parent's rights could be taken away was shown clearly through this fiction. (Thus the 'too real' for my boys) But it presents an accurate view of society's view on father's rights. (Very concerning)Stein provides a good example of a book written in one POV---from a dog's perspective. The theme of fighting for what you treasure without quitting offered hope and inspiration.The lessons from racing cars paralleled life's lessons adding a different perspective unknown to me.I didn't finish reading it to my boys, but I had to finish reading it for myself. (and gave them a synopsis ... morefor closure)A book of warning to fathers who don't see what society is doing to their rights. Hang in there and don't quit. Fathers are needed.
review 2: OMG! This book is a heart touching story and will always be I highly recommennd this book I know what you are thinking. I just heard of this person why would I read this book? Because I am a famous critic in disquise. I won't tell you who but I am. Anyways Enzo will start off as a puppy telling a story which involves Racing ( duh ) Puppys and his arch enemy the Elephant. This story is highly recommended and is hilarious yet heartfelt. If you like those things in a stroy you will enjoy this and if you don't I was saving this til the end but it has some action and if you don't like any of that stuff than read it anyways and try new thing! less
