The Art Of Racing in the Rain / Garth Stein / 321 pages

I have seen this book for several years and with the movie coming out based on the book I finally read it.  It is about the relationship between a dog, Enzo, and his owner, Denny.  Denny is a race car driver, hence the title.  You will learn a lot about what makes a good race car driver.  The reader knows from the first chapter that this is a story that will make you cry.  But it is well worth reading.  There is a lot of joy in the book also.  The ending is a good one.  This was a particularly difficult read for me as I had to have my dog put down while reading this book.
