The Art of Racing in the Rain is one of the best books I have read in recent years. It is a book written from the narration perspective of the family dog Enzoe who relates the trials and tribulations of a race car driver with aspirations to drive in the big leauges.
My favorite part of the book was when the drive used towels to fasten his dog into the passenger seat and took his dog for the ride of his life. Heartwarming fun read that managed to bring me to tears more than once.
It is more than just a book on car racing it takes us all through familiar territory about life, ambitions, success, sickness and death. Kind of a Terms of endearment story but through the eyes of a dog.
@Jleslie you would LOVE this book!
