The Frozen Rabbi di Steve Stern
A great premise and plot, interesting characters, an unusual perspective on the Jewish-American experience and the founding of Israel, but ultimately a major disappointment. The writing never took complete advantage of all of these great elements, so I always felt aware of reading as opposed to getting lost in the world of the book. The story was compelling enough to keep me going until the end though, which was the most disappointing of all. I felt utterly betrayed by the resolution of this book.… (altro)
A great premise -- boy finds frozen rabbi in meat freezer -- but a messy novel. After the rabbi thaws out during power shortage, Stern tells lots and lots of family history and gives the rabbi a following. There are some good laughs but, alas, it felt as if Stern tried to fit too much Jewish history into one novel. A plus: lots of Yiddish vocabulary.
