 Must Every Ending Be Happy? December 1, 2008
I just read this book while in Ashland, Wisconsin (where I grew up). Perhaps the environs and my own history there helped me like and embrace this book.
As many have stated, the ending doesn't wrap up the loose ends, doesn't feel "deserved" and it is sad. It does feel a bit rushed. That's one reading of it. Or you can read it as a tribute to the connection of Almondine, Gar, Edgar and what the Sawtelle dogs were supposed to be about.
Life rarely wraps things tidily or satisfactorily for us. The imagery and heart of this book made up for several of the shortcoming for me. The author reworked this for many years, and perhaps the ending got a little overworked in the process.
I like Russian novels so maybe the heavy and depressing are already in my blood... or maybe it's in the Northern Wisconsin water.
 a boy and his dog December 1, 2008
I could not put this book down. It was so moving and lead me through so many emotions. To be honest, I have never written anything negative about a book on Oprah's Book Club list as she always recommends such wonderful books. "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle", is on the top of my list!
Terrific Story December 1, 2008
I don't know how I stumbled upon this book, but I am so glad I did. I absolutely loved it. It was a terrific read. It plods in some parts, but I don't really mind that. I highly recommend it and I will be giving it out for the holidays. T

I liked the story, and most of it was very compelling. I didn't like the ending so well, as I have many questions?
A great story if you have some time on your hands December 1, 2008
If you got some time on your hands its a good read...I read a good chunk of it over a couple days of Jury duty. I don't think it needed to be that long, but I loved the character development of the dogs. But the ending of the book fell flat for me and I closed the book feeling disappointed.
