Title: Not a success
Review: I've heard that Shalom Aleichem has a great verbal dexterity in the original Yiddish. I have no reason to doubt it, but I have to take it on faith. I also have no complaints about the translation. If the language is not as playful as, say, S.J. Perelman or better episodes of "Moonlighting," well, what do I expect, it's a translation.These novels are not complete failures, but I did not get caught up in them at all, and they kept reminding me of better works. Menachem-Mendl and Motl's family's schemes are so transparently hare-brained and sometimes not quite above board that there was little suspense or sympathy from me. Think Angel from "The Rockford Files," but denser. The second half of "Motl" (in America) may be of some sociological interest, but it constantly reminded me of the far superior "The Rise of David Levinsky." If you like Shirley Temple movies, you may find this similarly charming.
