Giveaway - The Art of Racing in the Rain CDs
I just finished listening to The Art of Racing in the Rain. I enjoy books about dogs, so when my younger daughter brought this book home from the library, I immediately ordered it on CD. How was I going to resist a book with a photo of a Cabana-esque dog on the cover?!
The book is told from the perspective of a dog named Enzo, who lives with a race car driver. Although the book got very good reviews on Amazon, I personally found it disappointing. I didn't think it was a compelling story, it was fraught with inconsistencies, and I just couldn't wrap my mind around a dog who watches AND understands television and who cares so deeply about car racing.
After my incredibly scathing review, IF you are still interested in listening to this book, I'd like to offer you my copy! My daughter felt that the book had its moments, and when I complained about it after listening to the first CD, she encouraged me to keep going, saying that the book gets better. And it did--slightly.
If by some miracle, more than one person leaves me a comment, I will randomly select the winner. BUT I need some recommendations for other GOOD books to read, so please comment with a title or two that you think I'd like. They don't have to be dog-related, and either fiction or non-fiction would be appreciated.
Deadline for giveaway: Wednesday, May 26, 2010. Thank you!
