Kirja-arvosteluja
I have read this book several times and always discover something new in it. For example, it gave me a better understanding of people who live away from cities and are blue collar and why they might vote for Trump. Seidel is a terrific writer and has a deep understanding of people and of America.
Another excellent contemporary roman from Kathleen Gilles Seidel. I always like how she writes characters. They feel like real people that I would like to know -- most of them. They act in ways that I can understand. She does great with the backstories even in a short spice. If there is a sequel I would like to read it but I doubt there will be because all three snowboarders have books. But there is still the mysterious Lailah.
I haave had this in paper for the longest time but I didn't read it. I don't know why because I love Seidel's books. This turned out to be an excellent one. It had a brilliant way of interspersing history with the contemporary period of the characters. While it was clear to the readers why the two main characters would get together, it was not clear to them for legitimate reasons. What made the book really special were the book's secondary characters (calling them that is a disservice) and the careful attention that Seidel always pays to building a picture of the community that the characters inhabit. She makes it achingly clear what that world is even to someone who has never lived in that environment. Although this book was written quite awhile ago (2002), it has aged well.… (lisätietoja)

Overall Opinion:
“The Last Snowfall” was a cute read but didn't engage me enough to continue to the end. I liked the overall flow the author was able create with the writing and the lead/secondary characters seem likable but I found myself skimming a few pages to get to a 'good’ part. Furthermore, I will definitely consider picking this back up again in the future.
