I would give this 3.5 stars if I could. It is a very well written book. However, there were so many references I would have understood better had I been Jewish. Like - lots of them. So I felt like it may have interfered with my understanding of the book. I really liked the old man the book opened with. If he had been the whole book, I would have really loved it. Also - the audio version was very good!

Complicated at first, then captivating. Great characters. Humorous and sucks you in. Immediately wanted to reread it.
