Title: NOT a "Snow Falling on Cedars" by any stretch of imagination
Product review: I read with great satisfaction Guterson's "Snow Falling on Cedars" for which he deserved an award... It was good reading and skillfully done... And of course I was interested since I was born in the Northwest and raised there... When he did refer to sex acts it was done within context.. Next I decided to read the next book, "East of the Mountains", also skillfully written but a bit more sex than the first book...But, when I borrowed this one from my Public Library, I was distressed at how much of the book was taken up with the sex act, sexual fantasy, several of the main characters engaging in self sex, etc that it was not all that enjoyable... He could have told the story in about half the pages if that had been left out... Nowhere do the reviewers seem to note these pages.However, Guterson is a good writer of description....I would not recommend buying this book.
