Reviews

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, 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., .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., 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., 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., 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.', 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...., 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.

Synopsis

This riveting saga of an American family captures the deep and ancient alliance between humans and dogs, and the power of fate through one boy's epic journey into the wild., Born mute, speaking only in sign, Edgar Sawtelle leads an idyllic life with his parents on their farm in remote northern Wisconsin. For generations, the Sawtelles have raised and trained a fictional breed of dog whose thoughtful companionship is epitomized by Almondine, Edgar's lifelong friend and ally. But with the unexpected return of Claude, Edgar's paternal uncle, turmoil consumes the Sawtelles' once peaceful home. When Edgar's father dies suddenly, Claude insinuates himself into the life of the farm--and into Edgar's mother's affections. Grief-stricken and bewildered, Edgar tries to prove Claude played a role in his father's death, but his plan backfires--spectacularly. Forced to flee into the vast wilderness lying beyond the farm, Edgar comes of age in the wild, fighting for his survival and that of the three yearling dogs who follow him. But his need to face his father's murderer and his devotion to the Sawtelle dogs turn Edgar ever homeward. David Wroblewski is a master storyteller, and his breathtaking scenes--the elemental north woods, the sweep of seasons, an iconic American barn, a fateful vision rendered in the falling rain--create a riveting family saga, a brilliant exploration of the limits of language, and a compulsively readable modern classic.

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 ... The book is a long read so I suggest to wait til you know you have a whole weekend to devote to this book.

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 in my 51 years. It was a lot of information about breeding dogs, which I who is a dog lover didn't need to know, but still it was important to the author to convey and a must for the story to come to its end. The connection between humans and dogs as our pet, our partner, and companion, and even possibly our "Soulmate" (as mentioned in the book) was revealed in words that described this relationship of the heart so well. I no longer cared or even thought of the boy as mute as time went on, perhaps because he signed his words with ASL and a little of his own, and was able to train the dogs on command using this sign language. Since he never went anywhere but school and home, there wasn't really any situation where he was forced to write his words on paper to communicate, with a few exceptions. The ending is not at all what I expected, but I was left feeling mixed emotions about it. No Spoilers from me. I find it worth the time to read and I'm glad I was able to buy the 1st/1st with Stephen Kings blurb. I just added it to my son's future library that I have been building for some years now. I hope this review will be of some help. Enjoy!

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.Being from Northern Wisconsin, I could really relate to the setting of the story.

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.

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.This was a book I did not want to end.
