MOB Readings: The Art Of Racing In The Rain


I just finished reading The Art Of Racing In The Rain. It was an excellent (not to mention easy) read. I have not read a fictional book in some time, so this was a good break for me.

You will definitely enjoy reading this book if you love dogs. The premise of the book is family life from a dog's perspective. For clarification, I do not believe that dogs have souls or are actually able to think in this way. The author is able to take the things that dogs do and "humanize" those events and does so in a very believable manner.

The end of the book is completely predictable. It is impossible to not know how it is going to end when you read the first chapter, but the author keeps you completely entertained throughout the book.

If I had to complain at all about the book, it would be about all the racing references. I will admit by the end of the book they were growing on me. Of course, the title of the book would be completely useless if it didn't have the references.
