The Art of Racing in the Rain

The Art of Racing in the Rain
By Garth Stein
7 hours (book on CD)

Wow. Amazing, loved it! Great concept and so well-done. Not overly silly, didn't stretch the bounds of logic (ie 'wow, the dog knows everything!'). And made me cry, which of course is bad when you're driving but a good indication of how a book is.

Doesn't have much to do with LotR or Tolkien, disappointly enough. Would have been a better book if I hadn't been expecting more about LotR!

Wasn't sure where the title came from for quite awhile. Such a shame the twists and turns that ruined her life. Things could have turned out so differently.

Wow. If they're right, and I think they are... wow. Would have loved more diagrams and pictures, and would definitely love to see a follow-up book if they ever manage to get inside the pyramid to find out for sure if the theory holds up.
