 The Story of Edgar Sawtelle November 22, 2008

I can't imagine how this book got ANY 5 star reviews. The author can write words but needs to learn how to tell a story. The ending left you scratching your head. What happened to the dogs and Trudy? The characters were never really developed. I should have been sufficiently warned. It was an Oprah book club pick. I never like any of her picks.
 Good but long November 22, 2008

It was a great story with wonderful hidden gems. But, the incessive detail, that had no baring on the story, was tedious.
Beautiful written ripoff November 22, 2008

As a lover of dogs and wonderful dog stories, and of teenage adventure, even as an adult, I cannot recommend this book to anyone except someone willing to completely overlook the plot and revel in the descriptions.
This is a ripoff of Into the Wild, and Call of the Wild. It's character development is completely missing, except with regard, perhaps, to the dogs. It is technically inaccurate, having Henry in possession of a car left outside his barn,that is one of the more valuable collectors cars out there.
And perhaps the biggest dissapointment of all, is wading through page upon page of excessive poetic description and narrative to come to one of the worst endings of any book I have ever read.

I bought this book at the recommendation of the Oprah Book Club. I haven't completely finished it yet, but I'm at least halfway through and it's a wonderful book, wonderful story and I don't want to say more about it other than I have thoroughly enjoyed it so far. You can't go wrong with this one.
Thoroughly Enjoyed this book November 22, 2008

I am not an avid reader but a friend recommended this book because we are both dog lovers. I really enjoyed this book & it is a book that I shall treasure and share with others.
