It took me awhile to finally pick up this bit of a tome (562 pgs.) but I'm glad I did. A coming of age story, you can't help but fall in love with Edgar and the Sawtelle dogs!
The story had some suspense, or in my case, some anxiety ridden times as I kept expecting something bad to happen. More often than not things turned out just fine during Edgar's travails.
Now excuse me while I go spend some time with my dog, Leo!
Quotes: "Time thickened like wet cement"
"Just when normal life felt almost possible - when the world held some kind of order, meaning, even loveliness, some small thing would go awry and the veil of optimism was torn away, the barren world revealed."
