I flew through this book. It was an easy though intense read and had some great quotables. Overall, I would recommend this to my friends for the interesting mystery and resolution as well as for the Greek references! Also, I did notice that the author referenced snow frequently. I would say the author uses snow to emphasize how innocence and happiness is always fleeting and just out of your grasp. Snow also symbolizes new beginnings which... is rather ironic.
