Review of 'The Art of Racing in the Rain' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Almost finished with this book and I have to say that I've enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. I received this book as a gift from a friend whose taste in books I trust, so I decided that even though this book is narrated by a dog, I would give it a fair shot.
The book ended up surprising me. At first I thought, "Okay... a book narrated by a dog? Really?" and I assumed that the narration was going to be boring and matter-of-fact type of writing (like Ready, Player One -- sigh), but then I started reading ... and reading ... and reading, and at times I actually TEARED UP because there are parts that really capture an outsider's view (the dog's) of a family in turmoil and stress.
I won't gush too much about it, but I highly recommend.
