Review title: Disappointing and Dismal Writing
Product review: Although the premise of the story is a good one, the way it is handled literarily fell very short of expectations. I kept wondering whether his editor was on vacation for allowing the contant ranting and philosophical tangents, leaving absent the "showing" that might have been more appropriate to a novel. The story had interesting ideas to explore regarding holocaust victims and their children, but doesn't bring any light to the ideas, just a overblown ghost story which doesn't deal with the concept of "golem" at all and instead virtually slanders a generation of disturbed writers, despite the apology at the outset of the novel. I finished it only because I had assigned it for my book group and was embarassed to have done so. Steer clear.
