The Art of Racing In The Rain, a novel
I have been reading and rereading a book that I didn’t think I’d like as much as I did. It was given to me by a friend who read it and said somewhat the same thing. It is a book that grew on me… after each reading I would think, “whatever” and then I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I kept coming back to it. I stayed up and read it for 3 hours straight one night!! And I reread it in it’s entirety after I finished it the first time.
Why?
Who knows. I liked the “voice” of the narrator. It made me think of things in a new way. It made me cry and cry about the dogs I have loved and miss terribly now that they are gone. It gave me hope. It was a good story.
So, for what it is worth, here is my recommendation: Read Garth Stein‘s The Art of Racing in the Rain
