Query: Boring Beyond Belief

I finally somehow managed to finish Snow Falling on Cedars after reading it on and off for months. Guterson is a master of verbal torture, he somehow manages to find a way of describing even the simplest of things, like a snowy tree, using five paragraphs.Eliminate these redundant and tedious descriptions from the text, and you'll probably be left with about fifty pages (I'm serious). When you're finally near the end, and are anticipating the the surprise ending that may make all the painful reading worthile, Guterson slaps you in the face with an ending so predictable it'll make you feel like an idiot for reading the entire book.I wonder what the readers who gave it five-star reviews (which made me buy it in the first place) were thinking. Have they all never seen snow before?
