I loved the play on words of 'the art of racing in the rain'. Be it my dog that chases after the thunder gods, cars on slick roads, or life. The dips, bumps, joys, sorrows, happiness, give-a-damn-attitude of just going for it. I have several sentences in this book that I have underlined and reflect on consistently. I really enjoyed this book and don't give a flip about NASCAR or Formula One racing. I believe a person will miss a wonderful story if they limit themselves to the world of car racing.
