The Art of Racing in the Rain
The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein 352 pages
If you like the books in the Dog's Purpose Series, you will like this one, too. Told from the point of view of Enzo, the dog owned by a married couple and their daughter. His master is a race car driver and his mistress undergoes so many changes throughout that later affect the child in the story. Every one is striving to do what makes sense to them but everyone interprets everybody else's actions differently according to their own scale of right and wrong except Enzo who gets it and sees everyones motivations, frustrations and the good and bad in people. Such a moving story you will laugh and cry over this one. A charming story that you will be glad you experienced. I highly recommend this one. A good intuit on human behavior. Excellent book.
