review 1: it took me a little bit to get my thoughts together about this book. i definitely was engaged in it when i was reading it, and looked at it as more "real" literature rather than just fiction pleasure reading. i mean, you're dealing with big topics here. the writing is overall really strong. however, at the end of the book, i was left feeling a little adrift about the whole thing. maybe that is how i was supposed to feel? i also will mention that i literally had to walk away from the book for several days when the shoe shine girl came on the scene. ugh. and let's not even talk about his teenage "education" from his girlfriend's sister. seriously? i find any teenagers that slick to be unbelievable. but maybe that's just me. actually, i'm now wondering whether there were any ... morepositive female portrayals in the whole book. i'll have to think about that one. i don't know... worth a read, but i'm not giving it my wholehearted endorsement. i wish i could love it more.
review 2: I wasn't sure I was going to like this book. I could not relate to the characters except for references to their Jewish Culture. I was annoyed at them in Part I, at the relationships, at the choices they made, but was more excited by Part II. Some it was predictable in the sense that as the story unfolded I said to myself "yeah, I knew that, or I thought so." Part III was even more intense and engaging. I ended up really enjoying this book, found it very interesting, in spite of myself! I would recommend this book. Good Read. less
