very entertaining book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Similarities to Da Vinci Code do exist in this book, however, the plot is much lighter - despite what it says on the jacket cover. Instead of an inside tour through Catholicism, we have an inside tour through Hasidic life, which I found fascinating. The plot was woven enough that the ending was a bit of a surprise, although one knew with all the pointing of fingers, that the ending would not be what was expected. Character development was good. I enjoyed this book very much and look forward to other books by the author.
Jewish Mysticism Unleashed
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This was an exciting, intelligent thriller. My response to the many negative reviewers is that a prior knowledge of Jewish mysticism helps understand the premise of the novel. Having studied Jewish mysticism, I found the plot extremely plausible, and therefore much more frightening. I loved this book because I couldn't put it down, but also because of its unique premise. It also came across as very authentic, right down to the Yiddish words and phrases. A great, fun, enlightening reading experience.
Excellent, fun, and difficult to put down

After picking this book up on a whim, I found it to be interesting, well written, and fun. It moves along as quickly as a Dan Brown or Clive Cussler mystery/adventure. There's enough description of real places and things that as you read, you learn a few things along the way. Between the characters and all the action, this is one of those books that's hard to put down.

good beach read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I really enjoyed this. I am sorry butI do have to compare it the the DaVinci Code. I like learning about the 36 righteous men. It held my interest to the end. It gave me something to read and I wondered what would happen next. I rarely read these kind of books. I usually read women's fiction. But, I like the delving into the kabbalah and the righteous men. Something I don't know anything about. Maybe, because I am jewish it held my interest. And you never hear anything about the ultraorthodox(Chabad).
