One of the best books I've ever read--wish I could be a new person and read it again with new eyes 100 times more. ( )

This is such a wonderful story about a boy who is not really sure where he belongs. The author does a great job of making us feel empathy for Edgar and his circumstances. Some of the things that happen to this boy are just sad but he has a determined spirit and continues on. with his lfe. he does nt spend time dwelling on what he doesn't have and part of that is just not being in a surrounding where he can see anyone doing better.

Sad. Unbelievably sad. The ending is positive but the book is sad at times to read. Not depressing sad however as Udall writes with humour mixed in. A very touching book. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0393020363, Hardcover)

With the inventive acuity of John Irving, this riveting picaresque novel chronicles the hopes and heartbreaks of Edgar Presley Mint. Half Apache and mostly orphaned, Edgar's trials begin on an Arizona reservation at the age of seven, when the mailman's jeep accidentally runs over his head. Shunted from the hospital to a school for delinquents to a Mormon foster family, comedy, pain, and trouble accompany Edgar through a string of larger-than-life experiences. Through it all, readers will root for this irresistible innocent who never truly loses heart, and whose quest for the mailman leads him to an unexpected home.
