The Art of Racing in the Rain

[Mama3tikes]

I liked it anyone else?

[Retriever Mama]

I bought it after several people said they liked it on the old board...but after several attempts I just can't get into it.

I thought it was "ok". I have it on my shelf to go to the goodwill or something. Not a keeper for me.

It was o.k. I found it a little more interesting because it was written in the PNW, but definitely wouldn't read it again.

I liked it even though it was predictable. Not necessarily a dog lover's book or a racing fans book.

[TimC.]

I liked it. I knew what was going to happen but it still got to me in the last two pages.

I didn't realize it was being discussed here. I ADORED it. Loved every page. A most unique novel -- witty and heartfelt, engaging and insightful. Bravo, Garth Stein!!

I just read it last night--didn't mean to finish it but couldn't put it down. It was recommended by a friend who really isn't an animal person. I loved it and loved the way the author stayed in character as the dog narrator. It just rang true with me, and I cried through the last bits of it.

Wait...I think I read this after it was discussed here before. ***SPOILER**

Is this the one about the race car driver whose wife gets sick and his daughter and wife move in with his inlaws?

yes. The story is 'written' by his golden retriever.
