I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't think Edgar Sawtelle was the book so many critics adored. I couldn't put my feelings into words the way you can, but I got so bored with it that I quit reading it about fifty pages in. I don't have enough years left to spend any of my time reading a book that bores me. And I think probably the reason it bored me was that I just didn't give a damn about any of the characters. They didn't engage my feelings in any way. Even the dogs didn't win me over.

Like you, I'd love to see Jensen do a really good movie with a strong role that would show off his awesome acting talent. I just don't think Edgar Sawtelle is the story for him.
