David Guterson - Snow Falling on Cedars

I started reading this mainly because I wanted something easy and involving - any kind of insight or emotional payoff would have been a nice bonus. In the event, the novel made me want to keep reading it in order to find out what happened at the end, but I found the writing a bit clunky and I was annoyed by the way the novel kept shifting from one character's point of view to another - I'm always very alive to that aspect of writing. (Really there's no good reason for my irritation on that account, but I can't help it...that's how I responded.) All up, for mine, Snow Falling on Cedars is just okay but nothing special.
