The Art of Racing in The Rain by Garth Stein.. After you take a drive with Enzo, you’ll be running through those yellow lights. Here’s one of the best dog narratives ever to get in the race. – Joel Gardner, LitSnap Editor |

"The Art of Racing in the Rain is not an instructional manual. It if a fictitious novel that pulls at your emotions. Love, devotion, death and betrayal -- life's highs and lows, all paralleled with the sport of automobile racing and narrated by a dog name Enzo." – The Toronto Star "If you've ever wondered what your dog is thinking, Stein's third novel offers an answer. Enzo is a lab terrier mix plucked from a farm outside Seattle to ride shotgun with race car driver Denny Swift as he pursues success on the track and off." – Publishers Weekly |
