The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein


I would suggest this book to anybody because the story can connect with anybody. As a struggling racecar driver, Denny and his dog Enzo are trying to live through the horrors of lossing Eve, Dennys wife, and getting custody of his daughter. Because Dennys racing league, unlike NASCAR actually races in the rain, hence the title, hes able to learn lessons about life and how to handle things through the difficulties of driving. The reason why I believe this book sets itself apart from others is it perspective, which is not from Dennys, but from his dog Enzo. Because his addition to the history channel hes convinced that he will return in his next life as human. He strives to follow human customs, yet struggles to communicate because of his 'lose tounge'. He wants to support Denny and speak up for what he knows about the custody case for Dennys daughter after hes convicted of 'child molesting'. Though it may sounds like an odd book, its refreshing and a great read for anyone.
