Review title: Snowbound
Product review: After eagerly starting to read this book, I found myself bitterly disappointed. I began rooting for the snowfall -- the only realistic character -- to build up around the courthouse and entomb all the characters and put me out of my misery. It's as if the author took all his research on fishing, the northwest and strawberries, threw a little literary fiction spin on it and slung it against his computer screen. The characters were wooden. What promised to be a good story spun its wheels in the snow as Guterson jumped from love to murder to racism to prejudice. I gave up on this disaster about halfway through, angry for having wasted a single second on it. If this is the sort of drivel that wins awards and becomes a major movie, then there's hope for all writers. Mr. Guterson, go back to your day job!
