I doubt we'll see a finer literary debut this year than The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. David Wroblewski's got storytelling talent to burn and a big, generous heart to go with it., Don't let the book's massive size fool you: This is a good old-fashioned coming-of-age yarn. Grade: A, .here is a big-hearted novel you can fall into, get lost in and finally emerge from reluctantly, a little surprised that the real world went on spinning while you were absorbed...grand and unforgettable., The Great American Novel is something like a unicorn-rare and wonderful, and maybe no more than just a notion. Yet every few years or so, we trip across some semblance of one.... [an] extraordinary debut., I flat-out loved The Story of Edgar Sawtelle.... Wonderful, mysterious, long and satisfying..I don't re-read many books, because life is too short. I will be re-reading this one., In this beautifully written novel, David Wroblewski creates a remarkable hero who lives in a world populated as much by dogs as by humans, governed as much by the past as by the present. The Story of Edgar Sawtelle is a passionate, absorbing and deeply surprising debut., Edgar Sawtelle is a boy without a voice, but his world, populated by the dogs his family breeds, is anything but silent. This is a remarkable story about the language of friendship-a language that transcends words., This luminescent story has the kind of sprawling, wide-lens focus that readers think of when they talk about the so-called 'great American novel.', A stately, wonderfully written debut novel.[Wroblewski] takes an intense interest in his characters; takes pains to invest emotion and rough understanding in them; and sets them in motion with graceful language. a boon for dog lovers, and for fans of storytelling that eschews flash. Highly recommended., A stunning first novel.a ranging story that is part coming of age, part mystery and part tragedy on the order of Hamlet.Wroblewski executes with elan, building an addicting tale peopled by fully dimensional characters. He carries the reader, with authority and confidence, on a thought-provoking ride., Whether you read for the beauty of language or for the intricacies of plot, you will easily fall in love with David Wroblewski's generous, almost transcendentally lovely debut novel...the scope of this book, its psychological insight and lyrical mastery, make it one of the best novels of the year....

After receiving my package, which was wrapped so well, I noticed the corn stick I purchased was aluminum and not cast iron as listed. I contacted this seller and they replied in less than an hour and were so professional about it. Before the day was over I was refunded. The seller was so transparent and their communication was beyond what I expected. I will absolutely be following this seller and purchasing from them in the future.

    Sawteele Kennel

    I found the book to be too long. It seemed that the author was trying to make the book longer by infusing a lot of dog commands and weather incidentals. The story could have been told in half the volume.

    INTERESTING STORY

    The book is a long read so I suggest to wait til you know you have a whole weekend to devote to this book. It's too involved to pick up and leave and return to it later. In the beginning, the story takes place in Hong Kong, it's foreshadowing what evil lies ahead, however you have no clue who this person is in Hong Kong...until much later in the story. It's the center of the story and all else surrounds it. I believe it's what kept me reading when at times I wondered where this was leading me, especially when at times the scenes dragged out slow and boring. But, as all good books, it doesn't last and picks up again. So, if this happens to you, hang in there, keep reading for it is all worth it in the end. The dogs in this story was really something I've never read before in any other book ...

    Edgar Sawtelle book

    The book is in really good shape. I'm very pleased with it. So far, the book's content is very good, however, from reviews of the story, it turns really dark and readers are disappointed. They say it's like two different stories. The first part, so far, is very descriptive and even poetic. But that has nothing to do with the condition of the book itself, which is very good.

    The Story of Edgar Sawtelle

    Being from Northern Wisconsin, I could really relate to the setting of the story. I found the character of Edgar and his favorite dog very compelling and the book a page-turner. Because I was not very satisfied with the ending, I went to the internet where I reviewed a log blog from other readers. The answer to the better understanding of the story lies in reviewing Hamlet. A modern-day story with some Shakespearean plot lines.

    The Best Book I Have Read In a Long Time

    This was a book I did not want to end. As I was closer and closer to finishing it, I found myself rereading past chapters and slowed my pace as I did not want to leave Edgar and his dogs. The author's descriptive verse is exceptional. I appreciated his understanding and insight of the dogs. I feel his knowledge has enhanced the relationships I share with animals. As a person who understands sign language, I could easily visualize the conversations between Edgar, his mother, and his dogs. It added to the beauty of the story. I rarely read a book more than once, but this is a story I plan to return to.
