Hey, I just finished another book, that I think you would like...especially if you are a dog lover.
It's called The Art of Racing In the Rain, and it looks like this...
I have never read anything else by this author, Garth Stein, but I will tell you that I really enjoyed his style. The pages turned effortlessly, which is just the way I like it.
So, the book is not about dog racing...in the rain, as the title may suggest.
It's a wonderful story of a man, a race-car driver {there you go, guys}, his beloved dog, Enzo, and their life together. A life full of victories and tragedies.
The narrative voice is the dog, which I originally thought would be, well...dumb, but it wasn't at all. It captured my heart....and it made me want a dog...more than I already do.
I think you should read it...it's a great casual, recreational read and it won't take long.
I give you 2 pieces of advice...
1. Kleenex...{I'm a crier and there are a few tender moments.}
2. Heed the advice that was given to me when I started...."when you get to the part about the zebra, you are going to want to quit, but don't. Just get through it. " Good advice. The Zebra part was....weird.
Happy Reading!
Love,
S
