Kayleegator Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 A friend of mine is wildy praising a new bestseller called 'The Story of Edgar Sawtelle', a story about a mute boy and his relationship with a special breed of highly intelligent dogs. The book is very highly praised from a literary standpoint, but a few of the Amazon reviews have been mixed. Has anyone read this yet? Would you recommend it?

1sheepdoggal Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Beki, I hadnt read it, but have been interested in reading it. I listened to a review about the book on MPR awhile back. I wrote it down so I could be sure to be on the look out for the book, and I have it written down as David Sawtelle. Im pretty sure we are talikng about the same book, but am now wondering if I wrote down the wrong name....well, I got the Sawtelle right anyway. If you find it before I do, you'll have to let me know how you enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eileen Stein Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 It's Edgar. I'm reading it now. I'm really into it so far, but it's too soon to make a final judgment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lance Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 A friend of mine is wildy praising a new bestseller called 'The Story of Edgar Sawtelle', a story about a mute boy and his relationship with a special breed of highly intelligent dogs. The book is very highly praised from a literary standpoint, but a few of the Amazon reviews have been mixed. Has anyone read this yet? Would you recommend it? There was a recent post about this book on this forum, but couldn't find it. I'm picking it up from library in an hour. I'm really looking forward in reading it. It's a novel by a first time writer(computer software designer), about a deaf boy and his dog. Here's a video clip of the author on the Today show. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/26437726#26437726 Lance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
