The Story of Edgar Sawtelle

[Melissa Coffield]

I have read many reviews on this book. A lot negative. I personally loved it. Don't we want a book that makes us feel so strongly that makes us laugh, cry, and get so angry that we want to throw the book across the room? One amazon reviewer commented that she hated the book and wanted to throw it across the room but couldn't put it down and had to finish it. Yet they gave it a negative review. I too, wanted to throw this book across the room because it made me angry. But it also made me cry and laugh just as hard. Any book that makes you feel that strongly has done it's job.
