The Story of Edgar Sawtelle: A Novel
by David Wroblewski
Mixed feelings. (9/26/2008)
I felt much the same way that other reviewers did. the first half of the story was a real page turner and when Edgar went into the woods, a second story began and the first story was left behind.

So many questions were left unanswered for me. The writing was beautiful and original and I expected to be satisfied at the end of the book,but I was not. This book could have achieved greatness, but something went wrong along the way.
