I recently finished "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" by David Wroblewski and "The Accident Man" by Tom Cain. I enjoyed both books.
I wasn't too keen on the ending of the Edgar Sawtelle book. The rest of the book was decent though, it was only after reading it that I read somewhere is was an adaptation of Shakespeare's Hamlet. I don't recall whether I read Hamlet in High School but I didn't really make the connection while reading Sawtelle, but then again I never understood Shakespeare and my high school days are pretty blurred now. So I assume that is why the book ended the way it did due to the hamlet adaptation. Also the book could have been shortened somewhat, it dragged on a little.
The Accident Man was more my typical read. Thriller. I really enjoyed this read. It wasn't too long and not too short, just right. The protaganist was refreshing as you really weren't sure whether he was good or bad. In the end it was a fairly typical thriller but it was fast paced and really exciting at times. Just what I needed after the Sawtelle book.
I am now onto another dog centric book. "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein. I will be starting this on my way home after work tonight. It's a fairly short read so should only take me a couple days.
