I should probably rate it 5 stars, but I read it after reading the adult version and I liked the adult version better (duh, I'm an adult). Faith's book club all agreed it was a great book but "ripped their hearts out." I was impressed that they could see the connection between car racing and living and that they felt a connection with Enzo and Zoe too.

This is the children's version of my favorite book ever written. Of course, it's perfect.

What a lovely story from a dog's perspective. So glad I read this - even if it did bring out some tears in the end!

This is super random but this is one of my favorite books from when I was younger, and I remember being shook as a lil third grader that a book could bring me to tears/ have me so shook by the end. This book has such a special place in my heart truly. I probably read this for sure around some time in 2009.

This book would be enjoyed by any dog lover. It was really interesting reading because the story was narrated by Enzo, the dog. Makes you wonder what dogs think about, how their emotions and feelings operate. Just a warning though, there are a few tear-jerker scenes in the book!

Many thanks to Jonathan Ball Publishers for sending me a review copy.
This edition is the movie tie-in edition, hence the cover, but it is also a special adaptation for young readers which is also why the name has been shortened, I'm sure.
As I have mentioned in the past, I was invited to watch the premiere of this movie and there wasn't a dry eye in the house!
I did have an ebook copy of TAORITR on my old Sony eReader (which I cannot find anywhere, btw) and I then forget about it, my bad - and so I was super happy when I received this copy.
This book is so easy to read. Because I've seen the movie I could actually watch the events play out in my mind; and even though I've been through it before, I was never spared the waterworks.
This incredible story about a dog, Enzo, who enjoys racing more than anything and hope to be a human in his next life, is written in a manner that is easy to read, descriptive, and heart-wrenching, perfect for readers of all ages from middle grade and up.
Content warning, though - this book does deal with adult life situations, like death and disease, old age, child custody battles, showing just how ugly people can be so be prepared to possibly discuss these kinds of things with your child.
No matter your age, Enzo will rip your heart out! I highly suggest you go get yourself a copy!
