This is a nice, comfortable story. It takes you back to your childhood summers when you had no real cares other than fights with siblings. I enjoyed the story which is told from a ten year old's point of view. I thought the author did a good job in writing it as if the child was telling the story although it seemed that the further I got into the book, the more child-like some of the writing was. That didn't bother me too much. I didn't care a lot for the religious push at the end. There wasn't much in the beginning but in the end it seemed to really come into play and of course solved everything. I would've liked the ending better without that but it was still a very enjoyable read. I did find it hard to believe that A.J. would move away with her family for 8 years and they would not have taken Sailor, the beloved dog that she saved that was supposed to be her best friend. The A.J. in the story would never have been able to leave him behind. I think the only reason the author did that was to set up the meeting in the end and I think there was a better and more believable way to do that. Overall, the book was a fun read and worth the time.Get more detail about Saving Sailor: A Novel.
