Who's read it? An amazingly beautiful book, inspiring on all levels. The analogies of racing to life are especially poignant to riders. If you haven't read it yet, I strongly recommend you do!
I agree - a very nice book [thumbsup]
I read it too. It was a quick read.
While some of the racer references were a bit cliche and the ending was hokey, overall I loved the book from both a motorcycle and car guy and an animal lovers perspective.

Everyone in our household really liked it - and now I can't look at either of our dogs without wondering what they'd do with opposable thumbs.
An awesome read!! [thumbsup]
I plowed through it in a day.
B, who rarely reads for pleasure, enjoyed it too!
My copy is sitting on the shelf, I'd be happy to ship it out to a DMF'er.
I've read it as well...good book. [thumbsup]
haven't read it, but it looks like a great read....may have to pick it up as a "New Years" present to myself ;)
Bought it a few years ago when it came out and took it on a camping trip into the Sierras. Enjoyed it immensely, even cried a good bit through it all. We lost our yellow lab the year before and it still smarted.
Awww, recently lost dog would make this a tough read, sorry to hear it :-\
I've got an extra copy laying around because I bought it as a Christmas present that will no longer be given, so long as you don't mind the highlighting that made it the present. As soon as my mom is done with it, I'll ship it off to whoever claims it as long as you promise to pass it off to the next DMF'r!
