	Neelz gave to: Mansfield Park (Paperback) by Jane Austen bookshelves: read-it-and-own-it	my rating:
	read in March, 2008 Neelz said: "Written by a more mature and thoughtful Austen, Mansfield Park doesn't feature the spunky heroines of Pride and Prejudice or Emma. Instead, Fanny is a shy, self-effacing, timid thing with major self-esteem issues. For this reason, I almost like her m...more " add a comment

	Neelz gave to: Rabbi, rabbi by Andrew Kane bookshelves: checked-out-from-the-library	my rating:
	read in January, 2008 Neelz said: "Not quite a "worthy successor to Chaim Potok," as the jacket boasts, but I enjoyed it quite a lot. The most amazing thing about the book is that it featured both a Reform Jew and an Orthodox Jew and managed to present both traditions as equ...more " add a comment
	Neelz gave to: The Autobiography of God: A Novel (Paperback) by Julius Lester bookshelves: borrowed-from-a-friend	my rating:
	read in January, 2008 Neelz said: "It's hard to describe the book, except to say that it sets up quite the premise (lapsed observant Reform rabbi hears the voices of dead Jews and then reads God's autobiography) and succeeds in delivering the goods. " add a comment

	Neelz gave to: The Rabbi's Daughter (Hardcover) by Reva Mann bookshelves: checked-out-from-the-library	my rating:
	read in December, 2007 Neelz said: "Really, really depressing, from start to finish. Less a commentary on Orthodoxy or Ultra-Orthodoxy than the author's opportunity to castigate her dead parents for being unfeeling and self-absorbed. The most notable thing about the book is the author'...more " add a comment

	Neelz gave to: Company (Paperback) by Max Barry bookshelves: checked-out-from-the-library	my rating:
	read in December, 2007 Neelz said: "If Dilbert were a full-length novel, this would be it. Witty, trenchant, and engaging. For all the folks out there who have suspicions that their workplace is too hellish to be real - this book's for you. " add a comment

	Neelz gave to: The Big Over Easy (Nursery Crime, Book 1) by Jasper Fforde bookshelves: checked-out-from-the-library	my rating:
	recommended for: Jasper Fforde fans and, well, anyone, really read in November, 2007 Neelz said: "Jasper Fforde does not disappoint! This book was as absurd as I could hope for. I do wish I had reviewed my nursery rhymes, however; I'm sure I missed a third of the clever witticisms. " add a comment
