The premise sounds like a gimmick; the execution is sincere enough that it mostly gets away with it. Popular for a reason, even if that reason makes some readers suspicious.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarper Paperbacks' edition presents the novel in a standard paperback format, the kind that appears in airports and book clubs. It is a fast, sentimental read that knows exactly what it is doing, and it is for readers who do not mind being moved by a dog who understands more about dying well than the humans around him.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vagabound","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48479541199060,"sku":"9780061537967","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0802\/5410\/7860\/files\/9780061537967.jpg?v=1786814859","url":"https:\/\/checkout.vagaboundbooks.com\/products\/the-art-of-racing-in-the-rain-a-novel","provider":"Vagabound","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
