I just finished listening to The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein today, and my life is better for it. I can't describe exactly what the magic was, but I would recommend trying this story. Perhaps non dog-lovers will not be AS effected by this story, the narrator being, after all, a dog, but the nuances of canine behavior are richly developed, the characters rich and when it ended, i felt sad having to go about my day, knowing that there is no more to listen to. There were elements of the plot that i found not so believable and bits that seemed excessively glossed over but STILL this book with all its car racing metaphors gripped me until the very end.
