The Story of Edgar Sawtelle
Okay, I finished the book last night. I couldn't put it down. Like I stated before, the first 200 pages or so gives you the entire background and history of Edgar and his parents. Once you reach a certain point, the story just takes off from there. Those first 200 pages, I kept thinking, there has to be more to this. Rest assured, there was. There were nights I was so tired, but I couldn't put the book down. I literally fell asleep with it on my lap, not because it was boring, but because I refused to put it down when I felt tired. I don't want to spoil the ending, but it was a surprise. I love the way I knew Edgar so well because of all the background information. I also loved the characters. I hated some and loved some. There was a part in there which was a little out there (when Edgar had the dogs do a trick with a syringe), but overall, I would recommend it, especially to a dog lover. This is a great story about a boy and his love of his dog(s) coupled with suspense and surprised. This is sure to be a keeper for some of you!
