A review by kkonda
Spring Snow by Yukio Mishima

4.0

I thought this book was a worthy investment of time. The pace of reading, for me, was very different than a typical book. I usually gobble books up and move on very quickly. Somehow, I could be content to read 20 pages of Spring Snow each day, digesting the heavy story, anticipating the next chapters but not anxiously so. The characters are complex but so far removed from my own life and culture. It was a pleasure to feel like a total observer in a story instead of being caught up in it. The ending was perfect. A very satisfying experience.
