Hamlet Meets Call of the Wild. [Posted on 2008-11-30]
If you want Hamlet, read Shakespeare. If you want Buck, read Jack London. If you want a great story for a LONG, cold weekend by the fire, read David Wroblewski. Is Edgar Sawtelle meaningful literature? I don't think so, it won't withstand the test of time.
an interesting story [Posted on 2008-11-30]
I did like the story, the family is very likeable except for of course the uncle. I really am not sure though if I like the end.
sawtelle review [Posted on 2008-11-30]
The Story of Edgar Sawtelle is the only book I have ever reread as soon as I finished it. Very moving story!
Beware of spoilers in the reviews! [Posted on 2008-12-01]
I enjoyed this book as a light read, but I caution those who are reading reviews to watch for spoilers in the reviews! I read some of the different reviews to see why opinion was so divided, and many of the reviewers give away key parts of the novel. I was extremely disappointed that so many of them ruined the key plot turns for me and really degraded the enjoyment of watching the story unfold. The book was a nice read with a story that kept me going. If you want to read it, don't read too many reviews... be your own judge.
A great story if you have some time on your hands [Posted on 2008-12-01]
If you got some time on your hands its a good read...I read a good chunk of it over a couple days of Jury duty. I don't think it needed to be that long, but I loved the character development of the dogs. But the ending of the book fell flat for me and I closed the book feeling disappointed.
