"The Art of Racing in the Rain"

I was a little skeptical when I started this book. It's about a race car driver and his family as told through the eyes of their pet dog. The book quickly picks up pace and I found I couldn't put it down. Without giving too much away I'll just say his wife is diagnosed with a brain tumor and things in his life take a turn for the worse. The dog is intelligent, astute, and is quite witty at times. And he believes in the Mongolian legend that when a dog dies, he is reincarnated as a human being. Highly recommended.
