Excellent anticipation of technology

Revisado: 02-16-25

The author is extremely creative in his development of this story. I especially liked his description of new technology using a fictional war without getting bogged down in the details of a particular battle within the conflict in Taiwan.

Not as good as Mistborn Trilogy

Revisado: 01-27-25

I was disappointed. Actually, it’s more accurate to say that compared to Mistborn Trilogy, I was disappointed. This book just isn’t as good, which probably is an unfair comparison because I thought Mistborn Trilogy was 5 Star Plus!!! This book lacks the pace and imagination I was expecting from Sanderson. It’s not bad, just not as good as I expected.

Very informative

I had a rudimentary knowledge of the Bible from my childhood. This course exposed me to ideas and information that I had not heard previously. The flow and pace of the course was excellent. I highly recommend it.

Disappointing

Revisado: 05-02-24

I reader all the preceding books in this series and enjoyed them immensely. I gave each a solid 5 rating. As a result I’m saddened to write that I did not enjoy this book. One of the things I enjoyed in the prior books was the protagonist’s discussion of Judaism. Unfortunately, in this book, I found the author to be disrespectful of Jews and Judaism in both the United States and Israel. The Jews
in the United States are portrayed as very shallow and provincial people who have no respect for
Judaism or their fellow Jews. The Jews in Israel are also portrayed as having no respect for Judaism. The author even shows no respect for the Western Wall. He provides no insight into why he wanted to visit Israel or what the country meant to him. Sadly, I’ve lost interest in reading the remaining books in the series.

As enjoyable as its predecessors

Revisado: 04-23-24

I will continue with the next in the series. I’m especially curious to read of the Rabbi’s trip to Israel.

Extremely Enjoyable

Revisado: 04-14-24

Delightful book. Likable protagonist. Interesting ancillary characters. Satisfying ending. Very good interweaving of Judaism into the story. Although this is my first Kemelman book, it certainly won’t be the last.

Christopher Reich doesn’t disappoint. As with his other novels, I enjoyed Crown Jewels. Well written. Interesting story.
