review 1: I loved this book. It was a funny twist on the traditional-beliefs-clashes-with-contemporary-culture comedy of errors. Kokos, the dybbuk in question, is released from captivity after several generations to find that the distant relative of her last victim is gay and that the diabolical organization she works for has become a supernatural global conglomerate, Mephistco. Determined, despite new corporate red tape and shifting values, to make good on the curse that she was 'hired' to carry out, Kokos begins to take over the life of Rainbow Rosenbloom, part-time gay film critic and London taxi driver. Rainbow's life is further complicated by her hilarious group of more traditional aunts and a crush on a young, beautiful Hasidic wife and mother. Kokos has her own challenges... more to face as Mephistco tries to recall her from the original contract for 'retraining and reassignment.'
review 2: this was such a great book! it had romance, comedy, demons, jewish culture and religion, lesbianism- just awesome! intelligently written and i learned a lot about the jewish culture. kokos is a dybbuk (demon) who has been trapped in a tree for 200 years. she is released and sets out to finish off a curse she was called on to do. the curse is on rainbow- a loveable jewish dyke whos parents are deceased and who now is watched over by her gaggle of jewish aunts. the story between the two of them is hilarious! i loved all of the characters and am looking forward to reading more by galford! less
