I moved to MN about 2 years ago. We live in a small town about a hr outside the twin cities. Well there is nothing to do here, bored out of my mind most of the time. I mean we do have the MOA (Mall Of America) But you go there a couple of times and ehh not so exciting, Its just like going to a mall that never ends. Anyway, like I was saying I wanted to start reading so that I could get lost in something other then my day to day life. So I went to Target and picked up a book called Edgar Sawtelle. Didn’t know exactly what it was about..(I don’t read the back of the book) I figure that it makes it so I have to pay attention and not assume what is going to happen next. With out giving to much away it’s about the relationships between dogs and their boy, and the loyalty they give to one another. The author is amazing at describing the dogs movements and their mannerisms, if you ever had a dog you can just picture it so clearly with his words. It keeps you engaged though out the entire book. The ending kinda threw me off a little, I mean I understand why the autor chose to end that way… to have a powerful effect then just “they all lived happily ever after”. If you ever have the opportunity to pick this one up, I recommend that you do.
