Books : The Story of Edgar Sawtelle: A Novel
Rating: 
- the new American novel for the century
Wrobleski's novel is what the American literary scene needs. Superb in its eloquence, its crucial interaction with setting and characterization that includes a bond between man and animal, it strikes the heart of beauty between language and density of plot in one gripping read.
Rating:
- Wonderful writing, tragic ending
Do not get this book if you like happy endings. Poor Edgar, his father, his dog, his life. I did enjoy the writing and I enjoyed Henry.
Rating: - Why the ending?
Why do authors so often disappoint by ending a book so badly. People like it when their questions are answered and there is some sort of closure or justice. I thought the first half of the book was very slow. The second half got better, and I became enthused. Then, at the end, the the whole story just fell through my vessel of high expectations and landed in my pot of whybotherism. I am still rating it with 3 stars because I liked most of it.
Rating:
- Will Not Recommend
I could not put this book down for the past week and was so looking forward to a great ending but I just finished the BOOK and am very let down. I am so thankful that I did not recommend this book to anyone or I would be on the phone asking people to figive me. Actually I am about to take the book and burn it in my fireplace so no one else will be tempted to read it.
