Title: Long on detail - Short on story
Product review: Having not read "Snow Falling on Cedars" I bought his new novel expecting to read a moving story. The plot device of an elderly man coming to grips whith his own mortality - seemed to be ripe with possibilities. However, the book was a slow read with painfull intricate detail of the most mundane things. The main character was never fully developed into a someone I cared much about. The book left me flat and disappointed with its ending as exciting as squeezing the last of your toothpaste from its package.
