Anita M. (chichermit) - reviewed on 11/24/2008

Helpful Score: 7

I finished reading this book a few weeks ago, but needed some time to mull it over. Let me start with WOW! Coming off a string of mediocre reads, I was thrilled to be sucked in right from the start like dust bunnies up a Kirby (sorry Electroluxers and Hooverites). Just like that, I found myself caring for Edgar and his family. After realizing how drawn in I was, I started to think about what sleight of pen could have held me so spellbound and I still dont know. I mean the writing is certainly worthy, but something more turned this onto one of those hold dinner and the dishes, everybody fend for themselves kind of reads for me. Please be warned: this is a 5 tissue read and if you, like me, have a 14 year old and 4 legged family members of the canine persuasion, you just might need the whole box!
