Yesterday I finished reading the young adult book "The Snows" by Sharelle Byars Moranville. It was a very interesting book. The story takes place in four different times, and with four different characters all written in the first person. It starts off in 1931 with a young teenage boy named Jim, then skips to his sister Cathy in 1942, from there it goes to Jill in 1969, and then finally to Mona in 2006. It illustrates very well in each time the happenings of that particular period of time and how the family went through all of it. Every main character is related to the others in one way or another. The way it is written keeps you guessing and wanting for more. I enjoyed this book very much. There was only one downfall to it that would make it so that I could not keep it in my house. About three quarters of the way through the book in the 1969 portion due to the fact that they were involved in some anti-war demonstrations about Vietnam the F word did appear about five times. If I could take those out I would buy the book for my own personal collection. If you would like to find out more about this book or see some more reviews on it you can find that by clicking here. I am now into my next book which is slightly larger, it is titled: "Dawn's Prelude". I will see you all again when I have finished that. In the meantime, Happy reading!
