I had just completed a dud of a thriller, Joe Hill's Heart-Shaped Box and was looking for something intelligent with a good reputation. I bought Snow and I couldnt put it down. A story so well thought out and developed, I wished I had bought it years before. I'm not big on courtroom novels (which is why I always passed on it), ...             Our Lady of the Forest89 reviews David Guterson Vintage, 2004 To Believe or Not To Believe Our Lady of the Forrest features Anne, a homeless mushroom picker who has a Marian vision while out in the woods one day. Or does she? This is the central question. Anne has her own problems, including some pot smoking and a checkered history. Along comes her enabler who knows how to stick her fingers in the plate when the time is right. There's also a local priest with some of his own questions ...             Family Matters: Why Homeschooling Makes Sense19 reviews David Guterson Harvest Books, 1993 Wow, life changing and very thought provoking!!!!! With three children 5 and under, I don't write too many reviews. But, I wanted to write a short comment. WOW!!! I just finished this book and after reading many many books on homeschooling, this one stands out far ahead of the rest. I learned so much from this book and I consider myself well educated and well-read. What makes this book unique is it's look at our society and how public school ...             East of the Mountains203 reviews David Guterson Vintage, 2003 subtly captivating With the first sentence I was captivated; "On the night he had appointed his last among the living, Dr. Ben Givens did not dream, for his sleep was restless and visited by phantoms who guarded the portal to the world of dreams by speaking relentlessly of this world." I read this book because I loved reading Snow Falling on Cedars and wanted to read another book by this author. Guterson weaves a ...             The Other23 reviews David Guterson Knopf, 2008 Melancholy "madness" This is a really good book, by the author of the really good "Snow Falling on Cedars" and the not so good "Our Lady of the Forest" (well, at least I didn't enjoy that one). Middle-class Neil Countryman narrates the tale of his friendship with John William Barry, a young man to the manor born who rejects all the trappings of wealth in an extreme way, becoming a recluse up in Washington state's ...             David Guterson's Snow Falling on Cedars (Bloom's Guides)1 review Chelsea House Publications, 2004 A Masterpiece A very powerful book, the kind you remember. A fascinating study of the tragedy that is racism. Brilliant.             David Guterson's Snow Falling on Cedars: A Reader's Guide (Continuum Contemporaries)1 review Jennifer Anne Haytock Continuum, 2002 A considered and intelligent piece of writing This is the third such guide to have been published about Guterson's novel - and easily the best. (It's a novel that I've taught since 1997.) It's not perfect but there is plenty of good material in here to get students thinking - Haytock is particularly eloqunent on Guterson's narrative technique. And she also provides the best novel/movie comparison that I've read so far.             The Country Ahead of Us, The Country Behind9 reviews David Guterson Vintage, 1996 Better than Snow I'm aghast when I read the reviews of my fellow readers but then I take in account the common misperception that a short story is somehow easier to write or a lesser achievement than a novel. The truth is that short stories are more difficult to write, every sentence must punctuate, there is no breathing room. In the two novels I have read of Guterson, the endless pages of description are ...             We Are All Fine Here31 reviews Mary Guterson Berkley Trade, 2006 FINE -- EVERYTHING IS FINE!!! WE ARE ALL FINE HERE The title of this book makes me think and laugh because how many times a day do all of us say FINE?! Think about it -- someone asks how you are and even if your world has just been turned upside down and out-of-sorts the stat answer is FINE. This was a good little book that you can easily breeze through quickly. The story line is different and the thoughts of Julia, ...             David Guterson Omnibus: "Snow Falling on Cedars", "East of the Mountains" David Guterson Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, 2004 Snow Falling on Cedars; In 1954 a fisherman is found dead and a local Japanese-American man is charged with his murder. In the course of his trial, it becomes clear that more is at stake than one man's guilt. For San Piedro is haunted by memories: of a past love affair between a white boy and a Japanese girl; of land desired, paid for and lost; and of what happened during World War II when its Japanese residents were sent into exile while their ...             Snow Falling on Cedars David Guterson Bloomsbury, 1996             East of the Mountains2 reviews David Guterson Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, 2000 Slice of real life This book seems like it would be depressing in some ways but as the adventure unfolds the reader is taken into greater depths of the characters and the mountain location. It becomes a warming human experience...the way the lives interact, the plot developes and the main character grows in awareness of the value of living. The skill of writing is remarkable and the event descriptions enjoyable.              search for books ahead, all, are, behind, bloom, cedars, contemporaries, continuum, country, david, east, falling, family, fine, forest, guide, guides, guterson, here, homeschooling, lady, makes, matters, mountains, omnibus, other, reader, sense, snow, why books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
