Many people seem to be confused about the weird ghosts- something I too was/am a bit confused about. So she ends up dying not because she's dumb and she doesn't know a car has the power to take her life but because why should she go on when her boy is gone, Gar is dead and she is too old and helpless to do anything about it? Almondine dies because she does not know what else to do. Edgar Sawtelle is her world and her true love in a sense- she cannot live without him. If you read her perspective compared to the human characters, you can see that her world is written in people not objects or events. She is old and her world has been destroyed. It would have been such a silly ending if Edgar goes back to a happy house with his sole mate. I just want to answer some questions and maybe give light to the ending.įirst, Almandine had to die. This is the best book I have ever read, mind you I am a senior, so the amount of books I have read is probably smaller than the average user. Maybe I missed some key ingredients here!Īll of these comments are aggravating me so I decided to make an account so I could comment back. A frantic mother should be pretty dang strong! I'm sure I could have found a way to escape to get to my son. Why couldn't Trudy get away from a blind Glen. They wouldn't have stayed with him over Edgar. How did Almondine die? Car hit her while looking for Edgar? Don't you think she would have been trained about cars - Sawtelle dogs are so well trained? Why did Edgar see his ghost father in the rain and never again? What was his father trying to tell him about Hachiko? What was up with that? Why did Edgar see another dead farmer guy in Henry's barn? Why did 2 of the dogs choose to stay with Henry? They had known Edgar for over a year - and Henry for a few days or a week. I just didn't get parts of the story line.
i love dogs, so I found that all fascinating.
I did like lots of aspects of it - the sweet mute boy, Edgar, and all the dogs and dog training. I must say I am disappointed in this book! I guess I expected a lot because of Oprah's enthusiasm.
