Took me longer than I thought to finish this book. Whenever I start reading thick books (500+ pages), I’d imagine myself yawning barely halfway through. Fortunately it never happened (so far, at least) and I really enjoyed The Story of Edgar Sawtelle.
As the title expressed, this book is a
story of Edgar Sawtelle, a boy born without a voice, in a family
that breed and train dogs which were named Sawtelle dogs. But the
book doesn’t just begin with the boy and his family, the prologue
started with an unknown man purchasing a potent poison in South Korea
and this led the readers knowing that something bad will happen along the
story.
There’s a bitter sweet ending to this
book (more bitter than sweet to me) which many readers may not agree
with. However, I still think the book is easily one of the best books
I’ve read so far and there’s no wonder Oprah added it into her
book club.
A five-star book!!
