Excellent Read....and if your a dog lover...a must!

This book was really good....it is written through the eyes of a dog and it is so fun! At times I found myself wondering... do dogs really think like this?.....and some times I think they do! The dogs owner is a race car driver so he talks about raceing and racers which was interesting since I'm clueless to the subject...so if that suits you fancy you'll like it even more! Garth Stein is amazing and getting into a dogs head...it is so creative! So if you want a good read (and you don't mind a few curse words and sexual content.... but remember its coming from a dog) Then here is a book for you!

here's a short summary:

'An imaginative and emotional tale of life and love from a creative and unorthodox point of view, The Art of Racing in the Rain tells the story of the Swift family, as seen by their faithful dog, Enzo. On the eve of his death, Enzo recalls all that the family has been through: the sacrifices his master, Denny Swift, an up-and-coming race car driver, has made to succeed; the unexpected loss of Eve, Denny’s wife; the three-year custody battle over their daughter, Zoe, whose maternal grandparents pulled every string to gain guardianship. The Art of Racing in the Rain is the third novel from Stein, a former documentary filmmaker who lives in Seattle'
