I just finished reading The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, one of last year’s bestselling novels. Here is the issue: EVERYONE FUCKING DIES AT THE END! I mean literally there is a fire and every character is killed. The main drive of the story is that after Edgar’s dad dies in the middle of the book, his evil uncle who secretly killed the dad starts getting romantic with his mom. After 500ish pages, as the book builds towards a confrontation with his uncle when Edgar will solve the mystery of how his dad was actually murdered and confront his mom with the evidence, he instead dies in a fire. And his uncle dies. And his mom dies. And maybe a police officer dies. And some dogs die. And no mystery is solved THE END. this book is garbage for how long it is and how frustrating it is.
