Summary: Riveting. Moving. Memorable
Comment: This is an amazing tale, written beautifully and full of mystical, poetic prose. I could not put this book down and commend the author for his original and breathtaking account of a very special boy.
Without reservation I have recommended it to many and I anticipate remembering this wonderful tale for many years to come.

Summary: Not always a happy ending
Comment: Edgar Sawtelle had me spellbound. I was clearly not going to put this book down until I read the conclusion. Suffice it to say.. I do expect a sequel...if there is a possiblility that dogs could write. If and when a sequel is written, there might not be any spare time left in my life. Hmmmm that is a thought. At least I have more trust in a Sawtelle dog than I do in our present Government. What has become of "Forte"? Admittedly, I will be first in line to pre-order the sequel..

Summary: Tedious and Self-Indulgent
Comment: This book is tedious, self-indulgent, and over-hyped. It is a rip-off of Hamlet, books by Martha Grimes (human-like animals), and even Hard Times by Dickens (the loyal circus dog). After suffering through this book, there is no ending. The exhausted reader is left up to guessing what happens to the dogs. One can only assume they go to Henry Lamb's farm. I cannot recommend this book.

Summary: What Happened?
Comment: I loved the players and the twisted, exciting story build up, but.....did the author suddenly leave town before writing the last chapter? This was not an ending, only a terrible, deflating, defeating let down. The Story of Edgar Sawtelle: A Novel (Oprah Book Club #62)

Summary: Story of Edgar Sawtelle: a Rare Treat
Comment: The Story of Edgar Sawtelle is one of those rare books that comes along on occasion. I was reluctant to read it because of its length and because it is an Oprah pick. I don't usually read a book just because Oprah recommends it. However, I read several reviews of the book and the more I read about it, the more I wanted to read it. I actually started reading it from the library but then, I decided I wanted a copy for myself. The language the author uses is so rich and he makes the reader feel a part of the story. The title character, Edgar, and his parents use sign language with the dogs and it is incredible how the dogs respond. I haven't finished reading the book but I know when I do, the story will stay with me for a long time. This book is a story to savor and enjoy.
