The Art of Racing in the Rain - Garth Stein

“The Art of Racing in The Rain has everything: love, tragedy, redemption, danger, and--best of all--the canine narrator Enzo. This old soul of a dog has much to teach to us about being human. I loved this book.” -- Sara Gruen, Author of Water for Elephants

“I savored Garth Stein’s The Art of Racing in the Rain for many reasons: a dog who speaks, the thrill of competitive racing, a heart-tugging storyline, and--best of all--the fact that it is a meditation on humility and hope in the face of despair. Since finishing this engagingly unique novel, I’ve found myself staring at my own dog, thinking, Hmm, I wonder ...” -- Wally Lamb, Author of She's Come Undone and I Know This Much Is True

“The Art of Racing in the Rain takes you on an unforgettable journey through another kind of mind, through the eyes -- and nose -- of a dog. I found it fascinating.” -- Temple Grandin, Author of Animals in Translation

That Art of Racing in the Rain is as addictive as a Great Pyr... once you pick it up you will not want to put it down. An amazing read for every dog lover. - Frank Farrell, GPCSO Webmaster
