Question: Based on this review, would the user recommend this product? === Review: I had a lot of hopes for this, in large part based on the high-star reviews given, and because of how great S. Y. Agnon was (another Israeli author). However, I'm having a very hard time getting through this because of how badly -- truly amateurishly -- written this is. The first dictum of writing is "show, don't tell." That means use dialogue and exposition effectively, don't endlessly narrate. Guess what, this is endless narration. Worse, the author uses the "omniscient" approach. She is in everybody's head at once, narrating how they feel, what they're thinking, etc., etc. I personally am stopped in my tracks whenever I confront that level of bad writing. I don't think the author has had any training as a writer whatsoever. A very great disappointment. Answer:
Answer: No
