Moving along in my 2010 initiative to actually find time for literature this year, I am about to start reading Pretty Little Dirty by Amanda Boyden. I bought this book on impulse the night I was shopping for Raven by Allison Van Diepen. I am not big on book reviews but I briefly give my thoughts on the book from my last What I’m Reading installment after the jump.

I finally finished Snow Falling On Cedars by David Guterson. It was an excellent book. Guterson wrote the book in a style that allowed each character to slowly be revealed through background stories of the past as the main storyline pressed forward. The main characters were well developed and the plot was embedded in the stories of the past so I had to keep reading to know where the story was going. Despite not knowing exactly where it was headed, the character development was more than enough to keep my interest throughout. Guterson also offers an alternative look at race relations in America, one that is rarely discussed between Japanese and Caucasian Americans before and after World War II. If you like mystery/courtroom/drama then I highly recommend this book.
