The art of racing in the rain

All:

What a wonderful story! I will mail my copy to the first person wants it. All I ask is that you pass it on to another Pelicanite- and make the recipient promise to do the same.

Cheers and Merry Christmas!

Paul.

Who wrote it? Vic Elford? I am unfamiliar with the title.

Written by Garth Stein.

Are you claiming it or does Byron get it?

Trailer doesn't do the book justice, IMHO.

Told from the dogs point of view?
I think I read it....

Enzo?

Great book.

Nice read. My wife read it with her book group. What I liked is that the author actually knew something about cars. He got most of the esoteric details just right. That level of attention makes me happy.

Will it make me cry??

[J P Stein]

It read like a soap opera. I couldn't get thru it.

Do NOT read this on an airplane... Yes, it will make you cry. It will also make you laugh, make you feel the rush of a fast car, and most importantly, it offers the promise of an even better journey in the next life.

Thanks for the great advice and brief review, sounds like a good read and I have heard a lot of other great comments, I just haven't had the guts to read it. I'm a pushover for dogs. Have to take my girl for her Christmas walk.

i read it in a tunnel, during excavation. i was wearing a petzel headlamp. bad timing, with the sadness tearjerker parts...i was bawling in front of a bunch of manly miners.

almost ruined my street creds with them.

fantastic book.

It's a great read. Definitely not going to go down in history with Dickens and Hemingway, but still a well-written, if at times a bit sentimental, book. Great story, fun, great characters - the kind of book you want to re-read, to go back and spend time with them again.

Fantastic read. I finished in a weekend. Couldn't put it down.

Merry Christmas Everybody, For those of you who didn't get through it the first time, give it another chance-well worth the time in life lessons alone.
