It's a book. A pretty good book. Not a how to, but a fictional story. If you like racing and dogs and read books, it's a pretty good read.

LOL

But yeah, I thought it was a great book. I had my wife read it and she told me she had to read past the racing parts.

What do you mean? Has this been brought up before? Sorry if it has, but I didn't see it.

Yes it is. I've gone back and re-read it twice now.

I recently read it as well. It had it's moments, but it was very amateurish and forced. It was like I wrote it.

I read it. Made me laugh and cry(not really) but tears.

I didn't care for it. It was really very depressing.

I have no idea. Have I not agreed with you in the past?

I gave it to my wife to read thinking she'd like the dog story, but she quit after 4 chapters.
