What readers think of Snow Falling On Cedars, plus links to write your own review.

Hello,

I've read this book after it was recommended by my wonderful teacher Geert ten Tusscher who really needs a big compliment because he's so very good. He's so very good speaking about the triangle of love, which is the most important element of the english literatur and actually all literature!!!
The triangle of love, what shows off very often in this book, is this: Love has three compenents: commitment, passion and intimicy. On this last part, Geert ten tusscher has expierenced a lot!

goodbye!

I think it is quite a good book and the ending of the movie totally sucked.

I think that this book was very well done, it gives us more of an insight to what the Japanese Americans had to go through, and all the discrimatory that was put there way because of thier culture, it is a very well done book, the only thing i feel that wasnt quite necessary was all the decription of the "body parts"in it, i think we can get the general idea of what these look like and what happens when 2 people sleep together, then having to go into so much detail, but all and all it was a well done book, with a good storyline that kept you in suspense till the end. :)

one cool book

The school kids that continually state that this novel is "boooringggg" simply don't understand the text. I think that Snow Falling On Cedars was beautifully written, and there is a need for all the description in it to put yourself in the characters mind and place. This story about Ishmael and his journey through the harsh realities of life captures many important issues relating to the time we are in now, including love, passion, racism, justice, hate and regret. This story is a murder mystery/love story/war story/everything story. In other words, there is a bit in there for everyone and I strongly suggest that anyone with a passion for reading challenging but very rewarding texts, should definitely read Snow Falling On Cedars. You won't regret it!

I thought that the book was okay, but it took about 100 words when one could have been used. The plot and sub-plots were quite good though, and they made me want to read on at a number of occasions! So not bad!

its an ok book however i wouldnt read it again as i found it a bit boring at time !!!

This book was an OKAY read. It is written spectacularly, however at times it got too boring. I know it's meant to be very discriptive to create an image in the reader's mind, however it was just too much detail. I loved the themes portrayed throughout the novel, and they were presented excellently. I had to read it for my HSC Preliminary course, and maybe that's why it got boring. I've watched the movie as well and that was a pretty good film, especially Ishmael Chamber's character (Ethan Hawke).
