Read this while on the treadmill running for a virtual running competition, but so it might be a little skewed, but I enjoyed the book. Definitely not a book for young children, but would fit probably best with young adult or new adult.
Enzo, the main character of the book and the dog, was different than I thought he would be, in a good way! I'll be honest that I picked this book up after seeing the trailer for the movie, so I didn't expect much, but I liked the fact that Enzo learns and has all this knowledge about the world he learns from the TV.
The story was not as emotional as I thought it would be, but it was still sad and definitely pulled at some heartstrings.

Who doesn’t love a book narrated by a golden retriever? This one was absolutely spectacular and really puts you in your feels. As a dog lover, this was certainly a page turner. So glad it had a happy ending <3 Your car goes where your eyes go! Manifesting is real!

The very beginning was sad, the ending was sad. The middle was boring and frustrating. I found myself skimming pages and don’t really feel like I missed anything. I didn’t think I’d care but I really didn’t enjoy the dog being the narrator. Just didn’t work for me.

Didn't finish it, couldn't get through the cheesy over-emotional vibe. Is that giving it a fair chance? No. But life is too short.

A novel that was both refreshing in that the point-of-view was from the dog, Enzo, but also emotionally wrecking. There hasn’t been a book I read lately that so clearly defines what it is like to experience the joys of life.
