Review title: Strawberry Fields Forever and ever and ever
Product review: This novel skims over the surface of a lyrical world without ever descending into passion or conviction. I cannot recall the last novel I read where the characters are rendered with such glum and humorless earnestness. The novel's sympathy for its characters is admirable but by the end, they're all just cardboard cutouts in Guterson's wordy morality play.
