 The Story of Edgar Sawtelle January 9, 2009

one of the most well written books I have ever read . I would highly recommend
 Enjoyable and thought-provoking, if not a bit drawn out January 9, 2009

I was disappointed when I put down this book after reading the last page. In fact, I spent a few minutes bewildered that it was over and looking for things I must have missed in the last few chapters. I will agree with another rewiewer who stated that this book sometimes leads the reader along pointless sub-plots. You wonder where you are going as you're reading through certain chapters, and I felt that the end of the book left you at a cross-roads wondering where to go after reading some of the unanswered mini-stories. When I read a book that continually veers off track, I can't help but wonder if the author just wanted to make a long story longer. I take a star off my review because I think sometimes this novel contains that unnecessary delay.
Having said that, I put this book down a few days ago and I find my imagination still re-visiting the world of Edgar Sawtelle. I loved Edgar Sawtelle; I loved his challenges, his triumphs, his reactions and his actions. I am surprised at where this book has taken me, and I will admit that I don't typically enjoy reading a novel this large for an ending like the one it offers, but it was well-worth the time and emotions. In other words, I enjoyed the ride, but the destination did not live up to my expectations.
BLAH BLAH Threw against the wall!!!! January 9, 2009

This book is sooooo boring and I tried my best to stay with it but it jumps around and then you are left thinking OK SO TALK ALREADY!!!! I got to about 1/2 of the book or a little more and was very mad I had spent money to numb my mind!!!!! Was not the page turner I expected.
 Too too sad January 8, 2009
I could not put this book down. It had me in its grasp. Then, I came to the ending - an ending that had me absolutely and totally depressed and, yes, even a bit angry at the author. I wanted to throw the book across the room!
Wroblenski is a gifted author and he draws the reader in...he makes us care about these people and dogs and then WHAM! he hits us over the head.
I was so disappointed by the ending that, as much as I enjoyed reading this novel, I am not eager to recommend it to anyone. I can't imagine putting my friends through the type of torture this ending causes.
Hamlet for Dogs? January 8, 2009
I really enjoyed reading this book UNTIL my husband, who also read it, pointed out to me all the similarites this book had to Hamlet. Even fact, a woman on our airplane, w/o prompting, offered up the same info. That said, I did enjoy the book. I love dogs. I just feel snookered.
