Beautiful and evocative

I, too, am struggling to resolve the choices made by the author at the end of the book. I, too, don't understand why there seem to be so many unanswered elements. I'm frustrated. I feel let down. However, I haven't been haunted by the beauty and characters of a book like I'm haunted by those in Edgar Sawtelle for quite some time. I haven't found myself replaying some of the plot points or character development of a novel to such a degree in a long time. A cynic will argue that flaws in storytelling have led to what I feel now. I might argue that the choices are deliberate and effective, if mysterious. In the end, it doesn't matter, because the book captivated me. Thoughts on nuances of the story and reasons for the ending only help to solidify my relationship with Edgar Sawtelle. I once had a dog with certain behaviors I struggled for the life of me to understand, but I cherished my relationship with him nonetheless. Perhaps that's a fitting reason why, to me anyway, the "dog story" of Edgar Sawtelle is one that I cherish.

Hamlet Revisited

What a great story! Not a fast read, but one that you savor and that will haunt your thoughts long after you're through. Brilliant, realistic characters and setting. The plot is familiar and enthralling.

engrossing and compelling....a great read

This wonderful book had me at "hello" . I couldn't put it down... a richly told story about a beloved mute boy intertwined with an unusual and fasinating family business. But its much more than that.. I cant wait for Mr Wroblewski"s next book.
