"the art of racing in the rain"

There's a few threads on this book but none for a while I don't believe.

Just finished it last night. An easy read and very enjoyable IMHO.

Especially if you like to spend time with your car on a track or with a dog at your side or both.

I read this book a few months ago and loved it! It was especially meaningful because I coincidently have a dog named Enzo (named after Mr. Ferrari himself, not the book's dog). I know, I know - sorry guys, I like Ferrari too, and plus Ferdinand just doesn't quite work...

Anyways, I've since passed the book along to friends and family and everyone loves it. I understand Patrick Dempsey is producing a movie slated for production next year - can't wait to see it on film also!

If Patrick Dempsey is involved, perhaps they'll modify the script so the main character becomes a Mazda factory driver instead of a Ferrari driver? Of course, they would have to rename the dog Wankel...

Great book. My wife read it first and all she kept saying was "you're going to love this book". The book pulled at all my emotions and needless to say, it was a great read.
