Born mute, speaking only in sign, Edgar Sawtelle leads an idyllic life on his family's farm in remote northern Wisconsin where they raise and train an extraordinary breed of dog. But when tragedy strikes, Edgar is forced to flee into the vast neighboring wilderness, accompanied by only three yearling pups. Struggling for survival, Edgar comes of age in the wild, and must face the choice of leaving forever or revealing the terrible truth behind what has happened. A riveting family saga as well as a brilliant exploration of the limits of language, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle is destined to become a modern classic.

Customer Rating:
Summary: the new American novel for the century
Comment: Wrobleski's novel is what the American literary scene needs. Superb in its eloquence, its crucial interaction with setting and characterization that includes a bond between man and animal, it strikes the heart of beauty between language and density of plot in one gripping read.

Summary: Wonderful writing, tragic ending
Comment: Do not get this book if you like happy endings. Poor Edgar, his father, his dog, his life. I did enjoy the writing and I enjoyed Henry.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Why the ending?
Comment: Why do authors so often disappoint by ending a book so badly. People like it when their questions are answered and there is some sort of closure or justice. I thought the first half of the book was very slow. The second half got better, and I became enthused. Then, at the end, the the whole story just fell through my vessel of high expectations and landed in my pot of whybotherism. I am still rating it with 3 stars because I liked most of it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Will Not Recommend
Comment: I could not put this book down for the past week and was so looking forward to a great ending but I just finished the BOOK and am very let down. I am so thankful that I did not recommend this book to anyone or I would be on the phone asking people to figive me. Actually I am about to take the book and burn it in my fireplace so no one else will be tempted to read it.
