Title: Is everyone reading the same book I am?
Product review: Fortunately, I was only "east of the mountains" for a short time. This book is over rated, marginally written, and very boring. After being encouraged to read this book by all the great reviews it has gotten, along with the awards won by the author, I thought I was in for something grand. It turns out that the author is about as descriptive and detail oriented as a sleepy three year old. If you enjoy somber prose and reading grocery lists, then this book is for you. If not, keep in mind some other books. If you like serious writing, with wonderful prose and imagery, try "The Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad. Or, if your into detail and descriptive writing, take a look at "Moby Dick" by Herman Melville. My copy of "East of the Mountains" is collecting dust on a shelf in the used book store.
