I'm a few years late on this bandwagon, but I'm glad I kept it on my To Read shelf all this time. Through Enzo's (a dog) perspective, I learned more than I ever knew about professional car racing, and especially how this relates to human issues and characteristics. Many metaphors abound, and plenty of food for thought on what really matters in life, how to achieve your goals, and never giving up. It's sweet, touching, and sad all at once, with a wonderful (if a bit predictable) ending.
