The Story of Edgar Sawtelle

Just finished this novel, and it was wonderful. I don't always like Oprah's selections although I usually give them a try but this is one that lived up to the hype. I'm not going to spoil the ending for you but I will say that when the book jacket says it's a tragedy it means it. It really reminded me of Where the Red Fern Grows. As a former English teacher I found that it was beautifully written and yet was full of suspense. If you do decide to pick it up, I strongly recomend you start by reading the sparknotes version of Hamlet since it is loosely based on that Shakespearean play.
