It was very long. I almost gave up on it, but it finally got more relevant to recent history! Hang in there!

My husband and I love Steve, his show and Aaron and Todd. We stop our activities and watch almost every day. But in reading this book, Aaron needs to pause when there is a period at the end of a sentence. I had to finally stop listening at about half way through the book because I couldn’t deal with the reading without a breath or pause, especially when reading the list of the 36 whatever it was. It’s not a race. Nor a montage that has to fit into 60 seconds. I’m sad to feel so critical, but seriously, I couldn’t follow fast enough. I’ll just buy it and read it at my pace.

Each character is carefully constructed and developed so that the reader moves from one point of view to another, and the lives of the characters touch each other over a great time and a great distance. I actually learned what a golem is (according to the Jewish traditions of mysticism) and connected that knowledge with some other literature, such as the Miss Peregrine stories and of course the Gollum of JRR Tolkien. The only down side of the story is that it drags a bit occasionally. I guess it takes a while to develop this many characters! Overall, I enjoyed it very much and would read another book by this author when she writes one!
