Wow! You guys are late to the party. This book came out over a year ago.
And yes, it was a very good book.

Read it about a year ago, after being given it by a friend. Almost neved read fiction, but it was indeed a quick read, and when one of the 2 or 3 main characters is a dog, it's impossible for me to be emotionally detached (try as I might sometimes); I'll never recover from the loss of my wonderful Berner. The friend who gave it to me knew that between the dog and cars (with a Ferrari bonus thrown in), it probably couldn't miss.

It's probably been responsible for more men crying since Brian's Song. Uhh, we all cried right? or was that TMI ;-)
Can't believe it hasn't been made into a movie yet. Sure fire chick-flick that guys will drag their SO's to.

One of my clients gave me her copy last summer before our vacation. Was in Myrtle the week of the hurricane, my book was completely ruined by a wave that came up way to far on shore. Shelly gave me another copy for my birthday last month and I finished the last 120 pages in a matter of a couple days. Couldn't put the book down in August and had an even harder time putting it down when I was finishing it up. Outstanding story.

Brilliant book - People who have never given a hoot about racing love it..
Also, Senna is available on Netflix for free with subscription.

Yeah - Racing in the Rain is a great book. I read it about a year ago and I highly recommend it.
Senna is also fantastic. We watched it on AppleTV via iTunes over the Holidays.
Any driving enthusiast will thoroughly enjoy both!
