Trying to decide between The Art of Racing in the Rain and something shorter. Is the running time part of the appeal here?

Roisin, would be nice to come back to this thread once a few more people have given it a go.

The Art of Racing in the Rain is one I am weighing up. This is the sort of choice I might miss without someone putting it forward.

Ciaran, same question here. A quick note on the pace would help me make up my mind.

For anyone considering The Art of Racing in the Rain: Leaving a boost while I decide. The hard bit is narrowing the list down to just one.
