"Pulled this out of a box after moving, searching for anything due to the recent closure of a public library in my area. It turned out to be a really interesting book. Powerful dialogue and honesty made this book so enjoyable. It was vulnerable, moving, and quite emotional. Finally steering away from the drugstore selections."
"This book has a dual appeal to people interested in the role of religion (especially Judaism, of course) in leading a good life and those interested in the role of religious history and text in creating an inner life. Ethics and mysticism play equal roles. It's easy to find flaws in the plot, but there's something vibrant at the core of the book that makes it satisfying to me. You certainly can't call the book predictable, and to be fresh it has to take some risky turns."
