Snow Country - Likewise Book Reviews

"For me, this one was a bit of a trek. The short novel was filled with beautiful, eye-catching prose, but for the first half of the book I was a bit disoriented. The second half become more interesting, but I still was at a loss for the first half. Kawabata’s descriptions, as expected, were beautiful and touching. At times, I feel the novel really lacked substance. Enjoyed the journey though. "

"Easy classic read. 4/5 for the ending. I deeply wish that the entire poem-esk novel held the same intensity that the ending provided."
