Unlike most of the other reviews, I know the orthodox Jewish community, its practices, language, and the evils hidden within very well. This made me very impatient with the book's organization, its language and its pace. The story is told from Gittel'...more |

This is an easy afternoon read about a 17 year old who is kidnapped told in the first person as a report after she is released. It gives a heartbreaking account of what it's like to be a randomly selected victim held for a prisoner exchange. The unne...more |

I really wanted to like this book, but it didn't make sense. It was supposed to take place in the aftermath of a coup in 70s Buenos Aires but it didn't seem to relate to the location in anyway. The author's tone is light, almost silly, and his plotting...more |

It's a thrill to discover an author I am not familiar. Thanks GoodReads for introducing me to David Grossman. These are two fascinating stories in one volume. I didn't give the book five stars because it is challenging to follow all of the thoughts as...more |

Others have commented on the great writing, but I couldn't find it in this slow moving plot. It is the story of a sweet girl bristling with feelings and perceptions who falls victim to a heartless society when her parents die and she is forced to liv...more |

I am an Anne Tyler fan and it was great to see this new story hitting the shelves. It's another set of quirky, flawed characters, Aaron Woolcott, an editor in a vanity press married to a practical, cold-blooded oncologist, Dorothy. The story revolves...more |
