yeah i read this a year or so ago and i remember pretty much reading the whole thing before i could set it down. I also have the Gold Plated Porsche- pretty good book for those of us that have spent way too much on our cars.

Exact same thing happened to me. I'd read what a great book it was, not knowing what to expect. I read the book a few months after we put down our Golden. Was a very tough read.

Great book, read it a year ago. I lost my own Enzo a few weeks ago - "Nick" - RIP buddy. I still have a clump of golden fur in the car that I don't think will ever get vacuumed out. I think reading the book a second time would be pretty emotional.
Now I have my new buddy - "Renn". Two barks....

Stopped by a Starbucks a while back and they had this book for sale. Picked it up, took it home, and spent a weekend's free time reading it.
I had to put down my Samantha, my Rottie, about 7 years ago. Worst pain I've ever felt, glad it hasn't fully left me. The book brought me back a bit. I loved it for several reasons.
Be good,

fwiw, its more a story about life, not so much about racing in the rain... (not race-craft )
that said, I could Not put this book down. finished it in 3 days. which is very fast for me.

Little late to the party, but I ready that book in two days which for me is impressive. I normally read books in months if not a year.

I just finished the book last night - read it pretty quickly. Just love it and how the story interplayed with Enzo's karma. Best book I've read in several years.
