the art of racing in the rain

This is my first Garth Stein book, and I really liked it.  Although his writing isn't sophisticated, the story is a touching one, even if you're not a dog lover, I would imagine.  Enzo, a wise and philosophical dog at the end of his life, looks back on his relationship with Denny, a race car driver, and his family.  Having Enzo narrate added an interesting twist to the book, one I haven't seen since Death narrated The Book Thief.

A sweet, quick read.  The perfect summer book to read by the pool :)
