Title: wow...
Review: Unlike many reviewers here, I did not catch onto the allusions to comics nor to Jewish culture. I found that I couldn't read this book without a dictionary on hand; I never would've guessed I needed the dictionary this much reading a book about comic books. Despite all this, this is easily the best fiction I have read in several years. The plot is unforgettable. The character development phenomenal... even though these boys accomplished some outrageous feats, they were still portrayed as the boys next door. The characters come alive as each of them leaves a firm impression of realistic emotions, as they are constantly doubting, blushing, hoping, and more blushing... (I think Chabon used the word "blush" more than 100x in this book).After finishing, I felt satisfied with an amazing story, enriched with an appreciation for Jewish culture, knowledgeable about the art of comic books, and gained a vastly improved vocabulary. I suggest you go through this experience as well.
