Title: Zzzzzzzz....
Product review: After 'Snow Falling in Cedars', I was ready for a new book by Guterson. By page 67, I knew I was in trouble because I had managed to find time to read two other novels while getting to page 67. I guess I persevered through the whole book because I kept thinking, 'something has to change, it has to get better - thats what the blurb on the back of the book promises'. But alas, no. The book rambles on and as you get closer and closer to the end (with many a hopeful flick to the last page - "only 30 more pages to go!"), the plot disintegrates and the storyline really does become a aimless, directioneless romp through east Washington State.I wonder if this book would have been published if it had been his first? The only thing it has going for it is very nice language decribing Washington, but with no storyline, I wouldn't never have bothered to read another book by him. Ah well, I await the film for Snow Falling on Cedars instead.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
