Yes, Boris in the Snow has met my expectations (at least, so far, I'm about halfway through). The story begins with Boris, and soon comes the snow - I really felt pulled into this story, as I also have snow where I live!
Boris seems to enjoy the snow, unlike the cover implies, although I'm waiting for the twist ending that may, if I've read between the lines accurately enough, involve Boris falling off of his sled - literally being "Boris in the Snow". A little too much snow!
