Title: Verbal Gymnastics
Review: Two words describe this book. Slow & Boring. Chabon is one of those authors that apparently writes with a dictionary by his side. I've never seen so many words that I've never heard of before.(Except Clive Barker's Imajica)The story just never moves along and I think that it is written for those with a jewish backround. I just didn't understand all his judaic references. ( Would someone please tell me what a Golem is ?) If you're looking for an adventurous book than this is not for you. If you are looking for another book that plods along and wallows in it's self important vocabulary and all along you are thinking that boy am I smart I can understand everything he is writing than this is for you.To compare this with a comic book as some others are would be to liken charles dickens to spongebob squarepants
