Average Customer Ratings:
Born mute, speaking only in sign, Edgar Sawtelle leads an idyllic life on his family's farm in remote northern Wisconsin where they raise and train an extraordinary breed of dog. But when tragedy strikes, Edgar is forced to flee into the vast neighboring wilderness, accompanied by only three yearling pups. Struggling for survival, Edgar comes of age in the wild, and must face the choice of leaving forever or revealing the terrible truth behind what has happened. A riveting family saga as well as a brilliant exploration of the limits of language, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle is destined to become a modern classic.

Hamlet Revisited -
There is a section of this story where Edgar is traveling, and traveling with his dogs. It just seems to go on forever. It is however one of those books that you don't want to put down. Once I realized the Hamlet theme was in play, I really did not want to get to the end. Still, worth reading.
The story is as lost as the boy -
The author is a gifted writer. He paints a beautiful picture of a Wisconsin farm and is able to make you feel the intesity of his relationships. However, the plot is frustratingly incomplete. Many paths are taken and none of them merge. His talent becomes wasted when you ask at the end "What was the point?". I don't need Disney endings or clever twists. I just hoped for a well put together story that left you with a satisfied feeling when you closed the book. You won't find it here.
I''m not sure about this book -
I'm a big reader but I'm not sure about Edgar Sawtelle. I was eager to read it and received a copy as a gift. The initial story was quite interesting, I'm a big dog lover and have serveral so I was attracted by the subject matter. However, the further I read the more frustrated I became. At one point a friend asked if I was enjoying it and I said, "Not really, I'm angry with Edgar and having a hard time continuing." I plodded through to the finish and was disappointed - not that a happy ending is required but....
I'll read it again in six months and see if I have a better reaction.

This was one of the s-l-o-w-e-s-t books I have ever read.
I did not see what all the fuss was about.
