Title: Don't waste your time
Product review: I don't understand how Mr. Guterson has become the darling of literary critics. The writing in this book is mediocre at best. The protagonist is so poorly developed that you feel no empathy for him. The dialogue is amateurish. The plot plods along without getting anywhere. I would not recommend this novel to anyone.
