The Story of Edgar Sawtelle

Has anyone else read and enjoyed this book? Reading about how Edgar's grandfather developed his own breed of dogs, made me think in some ways of how the German Shepherd was developed.. plus it's just such a good book..

I read and enjoyed it a lot...

I have not read it, but I'm always up for a good book. Thanks for the suggestion.

I had a hard time getting stuff done around the house until I finished it. Tom Hanks and Oprah have bought the rights to make it into a movie..

I have trouble getting stuff done around the house - even when I'm not reading a good book. LOL!

It was a good book, read it 4 yrs ago or so, and I still remember it...that says something for me!
Books that don't touch me, I forget about the characters. I didn't like how it ended, but I guess they were leaving the ending up for us to imagine.
My sister writes and her books may not be scientifically correct, but you sure do remember her characters. Her second one will be published by the end of the year.

It was a horrible book. Totally unbelievable and science fiction.... I did not like the ending. I will not say it was a good or a bad ending for people who didn't read it.... I will just say that I didn't like it.

Oh no! I can't see as it would make a good movie at all!

The ending was quite disappointing to me as well, but overall I enjoyed it.

I don't think it would make a good movie either...it was disturbing.
