This was a very cute, but horribly sad, book told from the point of view of a dog named Enzo. It was a pretty good book, but to be honest nothing spectacular. I did enjoy that the book was told from the dog's point of view. It made me look at OUR dog differently, even though I'm positive she doesn't think the same way that Enzo did in the book. I tried to imagine how the book would be if told in third person, or in first person but from the point of view of a human character, and came to the conclusion that it wouldn't have been nearly as popular this way. The dog had some insights that a human wouldn't have had, noticed things that a human wouldn't have seen... but also was left out of many events that a human would have experienced and may have changed the feel of the novel.
It's a quick read, doesn't take much brain power in most cases, although there are a few passages that kind of make you think. There are many parts of the book that will make you want to yell at it, or yell at the characters. Nothing spectacular; it won't be one I read over and over again. But I'm glad I read it once.
