The Story of Edgar Sawtelle: A Novel

by: David Wroblewski

June 10, 2008
I enjoyed the book, but it was not at all as good as Oprah hyped it. In fact, as the book began, I felt the story going in a wonderful direction, but it didn't go there. I thought the signing that Edgar must use would become far more important in the relationship he had with the dogs. All in all, I've never read an Oprah book that had the depth it deserved, but then, I don't think Oprah has the depth to expect it. I was disappointed in the book, but am glad I read it anyway. It was not what I was hoping for. Too many loose ends are never connected. That's it for me on Oprah books. I've decided to never read another one, at least not to expect it to be fine writing or a fine story. I'm still feeling disappointed!
