I read non fiction primarily, but a friend urged me to read her copy. I am so glad I did! This book, so well told through a loving dog's viewpoint, swept me along with its drama, insight, humor and pathos. I was held spellbound, as I instantly cared for the characters, gasped at developments in the story line, and learned a certain philosophy to car racing all in one small and easy read. Get your kleenex ready. I bawled like a baby. Incredibly emotionally moving. Great book.
